[Bruce in southern OH]

I am now thinking about what you are saying. I had a stuck clutch, I adjusted to get maximum release, so I think what you are saying is ....... correct. Still holding my fingers out in front of me as the clutch fingers. Head not hurting yet, thinking back when I took car apart, this is the way I found clutch. I figured that because transmission covers were removed that they had a stuck clutch. Now after we found synchronizers bad we think that the grinding they had was not because the clutch was not releasing but the sychronizers were bad! Sooo, with this re-visited I am still thinking that you are correct, but I still have to get my free play correct, will work on the adjustment first think in morning and report. It now takes all the travel to release, as it wears the fingers will move back as you said???????????????????????????????????
