I am thinking back to being on my back under my old and trusty 69 220D. The bell houisng has little to do with the function of the clutch. The tranny imput shaft has little inpact also. What would make a difference is the clutch slave cyinder. If the shaft is to long it might not completely release the clutch plate. I would try swapping out the slave cylinder. When I get to work tomorrow, I will look at my parts book and take a look at the parts numbers. maybe the slave cylinder has a different length. Also, it is almost impossible to look at a pressure plate and tell if it is bad. I remember changing the clutch and leaving the pressure plate in. When I went to drive the car, the pressure plate would not release the clutch plate. had to take the whole thing apart. Just another thought, the throw out bearing could also be different. I will look for you tomorrow.

Henry
