alright guys, i installed a exedy 3 puck with 6 springs and a pressure plate, I resurfaced my flywheel to .610 and used the alignment tool and got a new TOB. the clutch fork and pivot ball are both in good shape and they are now greased. I torqued everything and put it all back together...start car and half the pedal is play and then it gets firm at the end. i re-bled the system and adjusted the pedel under the dash. same thing. master cyl is WET but not leaking. its been wet for years. the slave is a little wet on the inside so i bought a new slave cyl. (im installing it sometime today) i couldnt find any noticeable leaks in the hydrualic system at all. once in a great while i can shift into 2-3-4 gears with the new clutch setup. car hasnt moved yet becuase i cant get it into first. i noticed when i took my slave off that i could push the clutch fork forward and backwords and it doesnt hit anything. i installed the clip to keep the tob in. but isnt it supposed to hit the pressure plate??? I really hope i can fix this problem without tearing the tranny out. someone help!! when car is off i can get into all gears fine.
 
with the rod out of the slave cylinder slide the fork so the tob touches the pressure plate the fork should sit center or towards the driver side where it comes out of the bell housing.I had to bleed my girlfriends talon 6 times till it started to work properly. If it's not touching the pressure plate something is definately wrong
 
NEW UPDATE
MY clutch fork moved forward and backwards from on end the other end of the tranny shell w/o hitting anything such as pressure plate, any suggestions why, (clutch fork was mint as was pivot ball when i put it in 3 days ago, also tob was facing correct way, maybe i installed the clip wrong??
 
i think you will be pulling it again, something is deffinatly not right. if you didn't say that you could move the fork i would say bleed it, but the fork is sposed to be wackin the pressure plate.

not good:(
 
update, today i pulled tranny 2 of the top tranny bolts were broke (been broke for a year or so) and the 12mm in the back was not there? anyways i bet thats why my clutch was messed up, btw im switching to the act 2600 unit! thanks for the help
