clutch problems persist

["Joe Doty" <rocco2nr@hotmail.com>]

As you may or may not recall, I was having problems with the clutch not 
completely disengaging.  The car will not go into gear at all when the 
engine is running and the clutch is in.

I got an adjustable clutch cable from the junkyard because I wanted to see 
if that would fix my problem.  Well, it didnt.  I had it adjusted so far up 
that the arm was hitting the transmission mount.  But the clutch still didnt 
catch until way far out in the pedal travel (when I put it in gear and 
started the car up).

I have the 5th gear cover off right now and I'm looking at the throwout 
bearing, and it looks okay...(???) Could the problem be here still?  I had 
also pulled the transmission and looked at all the clutch stuff and it 
looked okay.  Could the thrust plate be bent in or something?

Stock 16v pressure plate, clutchnet dual fiber disc, 4K with .71 5th gear 
from kraftswerk, everything with less than 10k miles.  All soaking in 
redline MTL.  No rude clutch dumps, I ALWAYS took it super easy on the 
shifts.

Help?

thanks
Joe
