I'm totally bummed. I removed the trans, removed the clutch, installed a new pilot bushing, and reinstalled everything, which wasn't super easy by myself. I checked all of the clearances twice, and everything seemed ok. Put it all back together and with a lot of work I got it to align and slide all the way on without using the bolts to pull the trans in. Still, the clutch doesn't release. I'm getting 0.9" of travel at the slave, which is more than enough according to Bob and Doug at ERA, and the tech guys at McLeod. But... when I back the trans bolts out 3/32" and move the trans back on the bolts, it seems to work. I don't think it's an issue of needing an extra amount of travel for the fork, because I preloaded the slave rod by more than that amount, and it still didn't work. Does this imply there is some sort of interference issue with the input shaft?
