I have it all apart again. Called Fort Wayne clutch and the pressure plate is a Chevy plate not the Mercury that I thought it was. This caused all the clutch travel issues. I am wondering if the clutch being set wrong is as causing the transmission not to stay in third? This transmission is all NOS parts and very tight, the only used part is the case and shift lever.
