I am restoring my 8N and had the engine rebuilt. When I mated up the engine and trans, I couldn't get enough throw on the clutch pedal to release the clutch. I determined that with the pressure plate that I have, my clutch disk can't be any thicker than .189". Yet all of the new replacement clutch discs are from .300" to .400" thick. The fingers on my pressure plate are not too worn and it appears to be OK. Any ideas???

Before I say anything, and not to disparage anybody's workmanship, but I just assume the clutch isn't installed backwards i.e. hub rubbing on the flywheel. OK, if the pressure plate fingers don't look worn, the fingers could still be bent inward or the diaphram could be distorted or fatigued so much on the inside it's just not moving far enough back to release. I had this happen to me on a diaphram pressure plate used in an old car. If you had a new pressure plate, I doubt that the thickness of the clutch has anything to do with not releasing. Also, take a hard look at the clutch lever coming out of the trans housing and see if its not slightly loose and rotating around the shaft it's connected to. This sometimes happen, and even slight movement will translate into lots of adjustment on the clutch rod. MY $.02

Thanks, Tim.
The clutch disc is installed correctly, in fact I have tried three different ones(cheaper than OEM but supposed to work) and now have a OEM plate. The pedal is OK, but that was a great idea. So.... It looks like I have to lay out more $$$$ and get a new pressure plate.
Thank you for the tips, I'll let you know how it turns out,
Steve

Are you using the original pressure plate or a rebuilt?
