That would sure make for difficult disengagement...
Glad you got it sorted!

: We determined it wasn't the thrust
: bearings since there was no appreciable
: endfloat. Then we determined that the
: master was building pressure and the
: slave had full travel. We pulled the
: gearbox and found the fingers of the
: pressure plate had failed. (Picture
: below).
:
: I blame this pressure plate failure on
: last year's failure of the release
: bearing. The release bearing seized
: and disintegrated. Though only minor
: scoring of the pressure plate fingers
: was seen at the time, I think the
: release bearing must have overheated
: the diaphragm fingers causing them to
: loose their temper. Over the last 9-10
: months the release bearing just nibbled
: away at the fingers. They were all
: worn paper thin and folded in towards
: the flywheel.

: We picked up a pressure plate and disk
: from a friend of mine and got
: everything re-installed by sundown. It
: was a very busy day.

: Thanks for the advice Glen!

: 1/3 up from the floor is too low. It
: sounds like it isn't getting enough
: release. Yes I would check that master
: cylinder before I took the box out. Is
: there much black muck in the bottom of
: the reservoir? If so, the m/c internals
: might warrant an inspection.
