They seem to be willing to help, so I won't make a judgment yet. What is really confusing is the fact that the clutch releases about two inches below the free-play, in other words near the top. That would seem to suggest that it is releasing.

The one missing element is that no one seems to know is how much travel one full pedal depression gives us. I have taken several dimensions and will post these once I am finished. I can tell you that with the spec clutch, when the transmission is bolted in, the seat (trans side) of the throw-out bearing is approximately 1/2" away from the top of the slave ram when it is fully retracted.
