Steve,
One more piece of information has stepped out of the mire that I call my
memory:
When I went to a roller bearing I had to change the throw-out fork for
the later type (the type used with diaphragm pressure plates) because
the t/o bearing was a different diameter than my old carbon bearing. I
have the early-style pressure plate (spring-type) which uses a different
height pedestal than the diaphragm-type pressure plate. Initially I just
swapped the fork and pedestal as a unit, howver I found that the later
pedestal did not give enough travel to fully engage the clutch. I
swapped back to the early pedestal to give me the extra travel. If you
have a SIV/SV car, you probably already have the diaphragm-type pressure
plate, so I doubt that you needed to change throw-out forks, but you may
need to check that the pedestal you are using gives enough movement at
the t/o bearing to fully engage the clutch.
Unfortunately if this is your problem you'll need the gearbox out again,
and to spend an hour or so measuring pedestals, throw-out forks,
pressure plate depths, etc. like I did...
There is a little info about this on my web site:

Paul.
