Thanks for the replies. Morris, please explain over center, since I don't know what it means it most likely means I have it wrong...I believe you mean is the HTB going too deep into the plate. Can't recall what the setup was, but what I remember in the instructions was that the HTB was to be out a certain distance off the TKO housing, as this distance was easily clockable as an adjustment. Once you had this distance the stroke of the HTB was to be adjusted by the clutch pedal which is why you had to have an adjustable stop. I did that and I do not think it is physically possibly for it to change.

Right now I think the best bet is get the car on stands and while someone is engaging the pedal for the clutch, blow everything out with and air gun and put my hand inside to feel the fingers on the diaphragm and sense the movement of the HTB. See where and when it is coming off choppy. As JD suggested I could at least feel the diaphragm fingers.

I think the tranny is going to get pulled out sooner or later with this problem. As I recall, the HTB can be rebuilt from McCleod? Not sure. If its reasonable to get rebuilt, as I have the tranny off, I will get it rebuilt regardless.

Man, wouldn't it be great if it were just a bunch of clutch dust on the input shaft? What am I thinking??? Nothing ever goes easy or cheap on this car...
