Okay we did that and I could not budge the clutch disc. I was able to get a 0.064" feeler gauge between the disc and pressure plate but the disc seemed to be tight against the flywheel. When observing the clutch as the pedal is depressed, I noticed that the disc moves away from the flywheel briefly but then settles down against the flywheel almost immediately.


Did you check that gap at more than one place? Pressure plate probably still against the disc 180 degrees from there. If so it's broke.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
