Just took the first ride after a long long time. I found it strange but my clutch does not seem to release or to slow down for a very long time. I see another thread on here about the adjustment and free play, but the only think I have done since last driving was to grease the release bearing. Is there any way that you can over do it with grease here and impact this. I have driven this car for 45 years and know it is significantly different right now. Shifting up the gears you grind even waiting 10 seconds or so. Just want to know if I could have caused some of this with excessive release bearing grease.
