Can anyone out there tell me how far a single stage clutch release lever moves on a properly working clutch? I've got a 68 gasser 3400 with the 8speed trans and this spring the clutch stuck. I never kept it blocked down and never had an issue (have had it for several years now, it was a full engine rebuild an the old clutch looked fine) now it seems like it sticks every time (only use it every few weeks) and it's blocked every time I park it. Pedal moves full travel but it seems like it's the final 1/2" of travel where it disengages.
The release lever shaft only looks to swing through 15-20* of travel.
I found the cotterpin was stuck and when I freed it up some black oily water trickled out.... Guess that's why it never dried out and stopped sticking.
Ideas / suggestions?
