The clutch has very little free play in it. I also pulled the slave cylinder off the bell housing and poked the fork with a screwdriver to see if there was any play between the fork, the throwout bearing, and the pressure plate. It definitely feels engaged, as it does not budge. This does not seem right to me. I am starting to think i bought the older bearing, as i recall it looks like that picture. Anybody know what year the transmissions changed?
