For whatever reason, the clutch is dragging. Improperly adjusted someplace or

a too-thick disc. This is why most vendors sell a 'long-throw' slave cylinder

because the stock setup was marginal from the factory. It's more important to

not let the clutch drag than the so-called free play dimension is. Free play

keeps the $23 throwout bearing from constantly contacting the clutch fingers

& wearing out while clutch drag will screw up your tranny synchronizers for

thousands of dollars in repairs. If I had to choose one, I know which I'd

pick! J DeRyke
