Remove the lower cover on the bell housing. Have a buddy or the bride step down on the clutch, and watch what happens up inside. If you find rust, a light spray should help, but keep it away from the friction surface. I adjusted my clutch so a .030 feeler would fit between the flywheel and the disc when the pedal was down.
