take out the rubber gromet that the release fork goes through and make sure the fork is on the tob and not behind it.

Should have got on it when everyone else said to, you might have been done by now.

Me + 1 helper = 45 min clutch jobs and tranny swaps, so get busy son.

this will.

if thats the problem, then you saved yourself some money and time. if not, replace the clutch like everyone else says.

IT really doesn't matter what engine it is but I am not talking about the slave cylinder, I am saying the clutch fork should move freely. Simalar to what was said about the fork coming off the TOB but if the TOB is pressed hard and/or the pressure plate is weak it can move too far forward and it will not freely move back as there is a lip on the input shaft.

But as John said with the amount of time this post has taken you could have pulled the tranny already. Seems like you don't like anyone's suggestions anyway.
