This is turning out poorly so far.
Upon pulling the clutch I think I found the problem of failure to release was the grinding off of the finger tips!
I am not sure how thick they were where they engage the throw-out bearing, but it looks like 1/8" plus is gone. Of course every bit of loss reduced the amount of disengagement.
This wear had to come from the throw-out bearing face, but it shows no damage and the bearing itself works as it should.
The flywheel and pressure plate surfaces look new.
So I am temporarily stumped and not sure of the main problem.
Kits are not available, custom rebuilds expensive, correct t/o's hard to find.
If there are replacement fingers available, I would try that route.
Any ideas are welcome/
