I have about 3" of clutch pedal play and I can not move the Clutch release shaft arm any higher to get 1" of play.

Is there a way to get more adjustment out of the arm?

This is the pressure plate that I have and I adjusted it to 5/8" when installed.

Are you using the stock adjustable yoke between the release arm and the clutch pedal? Have you looked closely at the release arm itself to make sure that it's not cracked where it slides on to the shaft?

All stock parts and no cracks. I will need to look at the release arm to be double sure of its condition.

Was this a quick change. One day it was good, the next day bad?

No, the condition has been this way since I bought the car.

A picture of the release arm as connected to the clutch would help me.

The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
