Last night was the furthest it has moved in YEARS. I was so excited i was shaking. 

I still have a grin on my face this morning.  And it was only about a mile round trip!

Can't wait for the day I can say the same with my project!

That was definitely me and Dallas last night. I think I'm more like freiberger though than he is.

So, if the clutch fork is attached, all adjustment is used, and the clutch pedal goes to the floor, with no clutch disengagement, it pretry much means im dropping the trans and blowproof bellhousing, right?

could be input shaft siezed to pilot bushing

could be spring jumped out of clutch hub and is jammed between disc and flywheel or PP

those are the two "mechanical linkage clutch doesn't disengage when pedal is pushed" failures that i've experienced.   both require pulling trans.

so yeah.

When you say clutch is adjusted all the way, do you mean the rod is as long as possible?

 

If it is as short as possible, it will do what you are describing. 

 

Also, check that the fork is actually moving.  Could be bad hydraulics.

As long as possible. 

Fork was still connected, and throwout bearing is generally intact. However, looking through the fork hole, i see shrapnel. It went boom i think. 

So, next step is going to be pulling the drivetrain when i save up for parts.....

I may have the Caprice, tour worthy by then.  Maybe I can take Alex in 2019 so he and I can do a 20 year anniversary run when hes in his mid 30s

The moment of truth awaits. 

However, no metal in the trans fluid.  So i got that going for me.
