I forgot to recommend checking to see if the release arm hits the transmission. If it does you need the washers under the pivot ball. Take a close look at the arm and think about the geometry. The cable movement test is a great idea too. Joel in Keller, TX (DFW area) '66 Corsa w/air '63 Greenbrier 4spd '63 Greenbrier 8dr 4spd "Bob" '63 900 Convertible 4spd '67 Monza 4spd Posi 15 others
