Nathan:

I had read your posts about similar shifting difficulties with interest. The clutch worked fine previously with the bushings 85% destroyed so I didn't really suspect the pedal shaft to be the main problem.

The clutch pedal resistance was surprisingly low after reassembly. Maybe a large amount of adjustment of the thrust shaft normal following a change of so many parts (Pilot bearing/flywheel/clutch plate/pressure plate/throw out bearing). Unfortunately I had run out of daylight hours and was without artificial light by the time reassembly was complete so I didn't even begin to adjust the free play.

Thanks for the reply. I will try the linkage adjustment first and follow with reinstalling the old pressure plate if necessary.

Joe
