Disc  stuck?
Disc in backward?
How much travel are you getting at the clutch  lever?


Hi Derf:
 

The disc isn't stuck - it will drag medium-light with clutch fully  depressed 
and engine running - the car will creep forward unless foot is on the  brake. 
 Obviously you can't get first gear this way unless you start the  car with 
the rear on a jack and then let it down.  I'm thinking that may be  an 
inconvenient way to drive the car in the heavy stop-and-go traffic situations  we have 
here in Chicagoland.
 
I don't think it's in backward - I had several folks at Flounderpalooza  look 
it over before I bolted the trans to the engine.
 
It appears I'm getting about 1/2 to 3/4 inch travel at the clutch  lever.   
 
Thanks for asking.
 
TuTone
