Kudos to frdriver and Brent. I should've listened earlier. It turned out to be the bearing retainer jamming the clutch hub spline on the rearmost disk. I had a machine shop take off 5/16" from the end of the input shaft (3/32" interference I measured, plus 0.100" for clutch wear, plus a little safety) and got the whole thing back together. It seems to work perfectly. My only consolation is that I can now pull and reinstall the trans in this car relatively easily, and by myself. |

... and dead lifting a hundred pound anything, while standing/squatting in the car is nothing to sneeze at.  |

Good to hear you got it sorted out and working. One more part of your car you are very familiar with. We shall endeavor to persevere...

Good news - how's the pedal pressure on that dual disk clutch set up?

It feels pretty light, but it's hard to tell without seats, and while the car isn't yet running. I'll have a better feel for it when I get the car on the road. |
