I just reinstalled a V8-60 in my model A. The transmission is a commercial v8-60 transmission. I installed a new clutch with the large portion of the center clutch disc pointed towards the transmission. Anyway's everything seemed fine until yesterday when a helper mistakenly "pumped the clutch" when I was bleeding breaks. The clutch will now not disengage (as if the clutch pedal is depressed), I disconnected the linkage and gently tapped the arm that engages the clutch fork towards the rear end of the car and was able to engage the clutch / transmission and drive the wheels. However, after hooking the linkage up and depressing the clutch pedal, the clutch once again remains engaged (e.g. as if in neutral).

I really want to exhaust remedies before pulling the transmission as the engine install took the better part of a weekend and everything is hooked up and clean. . .

Any help appreciated.
