The problem IS the clutch not dissengaging completely. On a flat surface, with the car in neutral and shifting to first gear or reverse gear, with the clutch pedal still to the floor, the car will clunk hard into gear and lurch foward or backward depending on if put in 1st or reverse. Why the clutch doesn't dissengage completely after I installed the clutch I don't know. I need to fix it. I'm sure it's destroying my new clutch and my transmission. I'm sorry if I didn't explain my problem clear enough. I don't know why my new clutch is not dissengaging completely like it's supposed to. It's fustrating trying to figure it out. One thing I tried was make another longer rod for my clutch slave cylinder to push the trans fork foward more if in fact the material removed from the fly wheel was causing the problem. The rod I made was about 1/8 of an inch longer than the normal rod. It made no difference. It was a shot in the dark but it was worth a shot.
