Sad day. The link is broken.
In having an issue with the clutch pedal not coming all the way back up after a shift. It's disengaging the clutch correctly and there is no slip once the pedal is out, but you have to pull the pedal back up to the top of the travel.

Wayback Machine has you covered, unfortunately the pictures seem to be gone. I'm not too knowledgeable on our clutch systems, maybe you can find what you need in the link?

Man, I totally forgot about the wayback machine. That archive is so cool.

I'm pretty sure I don't have the master rod adjusted properly. There is definitely about an inch of movement before there is a sort of pop feeling where it starts to engage the cylinder, then another inch or so before it starts to disengage the clutch.
Its super tight under that dash and I'm not looking forward to doing this job.
I also have a pretty significant coolant leak from the water pipe at the distribution block behind the thermostat. Going to have to get in there and change it before I can really make too much more progress on other things that need driving to fix.

I would go here, and watch Jafro's series of 9 videos that explain clutch operations. It is very informative.
