Finally got back to working on the Talon Sat.

After I put in the replacement trans, I developed a leak and parked the car again due to the weather. I thought it was the transfer case seal so I pulled it out. Transfer Case was full of oil, so that wasn't it.

The inside on the trans housing was all wet when I pulled the clutch fork boot off so apparently one of the trans seals is leaking. Looks like the output shaft for the transfer case may be the culprit. It seems to be seaping just sitting in the driveway. Thing is, why would it be wet up by the clutch fork?? The input shaft seal shouldn't be leaking that much because it's above the oil line in the trans, at least I think so. I hope it's not the input shaft seal, I'd have to disaasemble the trans to replace that.

I did remove the inoperable cruise control since I picked up a no-cruise cable over the winter. Need to finish hooking that stuff up.

Well I'm about at the end of my rope. I replaced the pedal assembly and the clutch still won't disengage.

So to recap.
After installing a new ACT 2600, pressure plate and Mitsu TOB with a Fidanza flywheel the clutch didn't disengage. I had Mulvains check the step height and it was .610.

Pulled the trans and reshimed the fork to put the clutch pedal to the drivers side of the trans window.

I replaced the clutch master and slave. Replace the old hose with braided hose. Tried extended slave cylinder rods.

I rebuilt the clutch pedal assembly with Shep brass bushings, new Mitsu clutch pedal and arm. I welded the washers and nut on the ned of the shaft.

I even welded a nut on the clutch clevis to get more adjustment with no effect.

Bled the clutch system several times.

I have a 1/2" of slave rod movement at the fork.

The only things left I can think of is?:
-defective pressure plate (too thick?)
-defective clutch plate
-2600 clutch bending aluminum flywheel

ANYTHING ELSE???
