Default Re: Clutch pedal play was 1", now it's 2 1/2". What happened?

I can see the release spring in one of Neil's photos. Looks intact.

I stand by my comments in post #2. I have seen this twice, one on someone else's car and once on mine. The fork that pushes on the housing for the throwout bearing sometime does not engage the little detents in the housing properly. The fork can then snap into position later on. This will cause the clutch play to go from 1 inch to 2 and a half inches.
