Certainly replace the bushings and adjust, but I've driven 544s without bushings and the clutch should still work in its raggedy way.

If adjustment doesn't work: last month I had the same problem with a 544 clutch, three drop-and-reinstalls, test pilot bearing, rebuild linkage etc. and still no function. Finally replaced the shiny new Sachs pressure plate with the heavy old Fichtel&Sachs unit and clutch works fine. Cameron Lovre related a similar story recently as well...hopefully this is just an adjustment problem, but if all else appears normal, look to the pressure plate.

All best,
Nathan
