Hi,
Well, the diagnosis was:
1. The spigot bush was def. hanging up in the bore, so there was friction
there.
BUT
2. the clutch disk was stuck to the flywheel!
I removed the pressure plate and the clutch disk stayed firmly in place.
When I pried it off, there was a pattern of clutch material on the
flywheel.
Looks like I might have put the clutch together too soon after I'd hosed
the flywheel friction surface down with brake-kleen and that resulted in
material ADHESION between the two parts.
Everything works "a treat" now.
I might take the car down from the jack stands and to some burnouts in the
driveway tonite... just to piss off the neighbors. Last night, I played my
electric bass 'till midnight, jtpotn).
:-)
