Desmo, Your photo shows the throwout bearing extended, it should not be at rest. The bearing that actually presses the clutch fingers is missing, do you have that? Clutch fluid is the same as brake fluid, very light. Transmission oil for a toploader is thick and smelly.
The tape that Rick mentions at the elbows does not apply here, because those fittings you have swivel. But also, has he mentions, the throw out bearing could have been overextended and failed. This is common without a stop. The weights on the centerforce clutches have also been known to interfere with some throwout bearings. Did David Kee sell you the clutch and hydraulic throwout bearing as a package? I have read your other posts and it sounds like you have had clutch problems for a while. Do you trust your installer?
