Easy fix is a clutch pedal stop to limit the travel Gus 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60

Turns out I had the in-correct pressure plate to flywheel attaching screws. If using a 10.95" "scalloped" pressure plate, you MUST use the correct pressure plate-to-flywheel attaching bolts. If you don't, the edges of the disc interferes with the heads of the attaching bolts and it seems as tho the clutch will not dis-engage when engine is running, but you are able to shift thru the gears when engine is shut off. This cost me two days of my life I'll never get back.....LOL! See this link...... http://www.brewersperformance.com/proddetail.php?prod=BP1500 Hope this helps..... Rick
