Subject: Clutch release problem found
> A few days ago, I posted a message requesting ideas for the cause of a
> newly installed clutch that would not release on a '68 1600. Thanks to
> all who provided feedback. We pulled the engine again last night and
> found the problem. It turns out that the problem was unrelated to the
> clutch. The tranny input shaft was binding in the pilot bearing. With
> the new clutch, we also installed a new pilot bearing (the needle
> bearing type from NISMO). We installed it to the same depth in the
> crank's hole as the original pilot bushing. But it needed to be 1/8"
> deeper in the hole to avoid the tapered diameter section on the tranny
> input shaft. The problem had the symptoms of a clutch that would not
> release because the tranny input shaft always rotated with the engine
> crankshaft even when the clutch was released.
