clutch problem

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

Indeed the self adjusting cable would of compensated for the missing bushign
and now that you have them back on  the adjustemtn is too tight and the
tranny never gets a chance to release the clutch to engage...

Quick test, take the bushings off and see if everythign comes back to
normal, if so, take 15$ and get a manual adjusting cable and replace it.

->o ok.  I don't have a manual adjust clutch cable.  mine is 
->self adjustable.
->I had it on there without the bushing and hardware on a 4K 
->tranny.  I replaced the trans with a ACD and added the 
->bushing and hardware kit so I might have messed it up with me 
->driving it with only the clip on it.
