I don't have a rig, but is there an inspection pan at the bottom of the
clutch/flywheel that will allow you some access? If so, maybe you could
disengage the clutch slightly, and position some kind of non-metallic spacer
(piece of wood?) between the clutch and pressure plate. You'd want to keep the
spacer as close to the center as possible(up and down). And you'd want to use
as thin a piece of material as possible so as to not put any more pressure on
the spring than required. And leave yourself a great big note to remove the
spacer before starting the vehicle!! Bob K (in PHX)
