Clutch not disengaging
I just finished installing a new clutch (pressure plate and disk). The clutch was working fine before the replacement. I did the job because the throw out bearing was shot. I also replaced the pilot bearing and rear main seal. Now the clutch does not fully disengage. I went back and reblead the clutch and adjusted the master cylinder push rod (I have an adjustable one) to give more push. No help. I also looked at the throw out bearing and pressure plate fingers through the inspection opening in the bell housing as the clutch is depressed. There appears to be good movement. If I put the car in gear and then start the engine (clutch depressed) there is a little lurching but I can drive the car.
I don't think it is possible to install the disk backwards. Is it possible the disk is sticking on the splines? Could the pilot bearing be stiff and causing the problem? When I mated the trans with the engine there was no major trouble. Any thoughts?
