Reply to "Clutch Problem"

Hello Will,
How old is your clutch,this sounds familiar, this is one possibility.
I'll try to make this make sense.
If your disc is worn then your diaphram which the throw out bearing pushes on to release the clutch is closer towards the trans, at some point it does not completely backaway the throw out bearing from the diaphram,
so naturally we reset every thing and it's o k.
You can only get away with this so many time's and then with the limited stroke of the slave it will not stroke far enough to disengage & in my case it would not back the throw out bearing away from the diaphram and my throw out bearing went up in smoke, this forced me to replace the clutch.
I found at this point the clutch disc rivets were a cu*t hair away from really making a mess of my flywheel.
I did an economy disc R&R, new disc, new throw out bearing, lightly sanded flywheel and pressureplate and all is well, very smooth and hard hitting.
All the new stuff is coming with the new engine later.
