BIll,
I sympathize with you. I have pulled the gearbox now five times and still have
not fixed my problems. I will have at least one more
go at it using the shorter release bearing collar to locate the bearing further

provide more space between the pressure plate and flywheel surface. I feel
that this must be the key to making the combination work.
(At least I hope so, I'm losing what little hair I have left!)
