I replaced the worn out clutch adjustment and trunion nut on my 29ccpo and adjusted the pedal freeplay according to Les' book ~ 1 inch. After getting everything buttoned up and back on the ground, started & warmed the engine - then pressed in the clutch and heard a noise (like a"boing"). The pedal went to the floor and now has no resistance. Shut everything down, removed the floorboards & clutch inspection plate. The throw-out bearing is not even close to the pressure plate fingers. It appears that the fingers are pushed in all the way and won't spring back. Here's my questions:

What could be the cause?
Is there a way to repair without removing the transmission and bellhousing?

Thanks,
Alden
