I am  about at the end of my rope. I'm still trying to figure out  the clutch 
 
problem in this loadside.


Ron,
May I suggest, that you attach a rod to the end of the clutch release yoke  
or find some way to be able to pull on this yoke. Then with the engine off and  
the tranny in neutral, climb under and using your feet to brace yourself pull 
on  the rod so as to be able to actually release the clutch. Now, you should 
be able  to easily feel the 1) amount of free play  between the beginning of  
travel and the point where the release bearing contacts the PP fingers. There  
should be some free play there. Then, 2) pull on the rod and release  the 
clutch. You should be easily able to do this and be able to feel the PP  fingers 
move and the PP move away from the disk. It should happen with a sort of  
snap. If you can do this and actually feel these movements, then you are half  way 
there. The other half is to get the clutch cable to move the yoke by the  
same amount as required to do what you just did manually. Maybe your cable is  
stretching if it won't do this. Maybe some new holes you might drill will give  
your cable movement greater leverage.
regards,
Bob Helt
