How-do! I'm new to this board, having found it while in search of information. If this has been covered before I hope you all will bear with me.
I just spent a day and a half replacing the worn-out clutch in my '76 Chevy C-10. It has the 250 straight six & the three speed Saginaw tranny. I have replaced clutches before in my '81 Chevy but never seemed to have any luck with it and I finally replaced the trans with an automatic.
But back to my '76: Aside from the usual snags I thought it went well but afterwards the clutch won't disengage. There seems to be a lot of latteral play in the clutch fork and I'm wondering if it could have come loose from the pivot ball while I was wrestling with the tranny, trying to install it. The connecting rod is screwed in most of the way and I doubt there is more than 1/2" of thread left beyond the lock nut and the slack is pretty well taken up.
Does this seem likely? And if this is the case do I have to remove the tranny again to get to it? I'll find out for myself when I crawl back under there but right now I'm none to thrilled about the prospect of doing it all over again.

Sounds to me like you have your throw out bearing on the fork wrong, If it keeps pressure on your pressure plate for a long period of time it will ruin it.
