Clutch Fork or Throwout bearing

Ok....my clutch is completely bled....i took it to a place and they pressure bled it for $11. It is still not right tho and this is what it written on the sheet they gave me....

"Bleed Clutch, No Air In Line, Clutch fork or throw out bearing bindinng. Must R + R Trans to Lube or Fix"

Umm well the clutch is BRAND NEW.....fly wheel resurfaced, new pressure plate and friction plate and throw out bearing.....so is the Clutch Fork Bent.....i am gonna add some spacers into the Slave Cyl pushrod and see what happens.....I know it is not disconnecting the clutch all thew way b/c of hard shifting, and with the clutch in and in first she rolls forward like an auto....so how hard it is to replace the clutch fork? I am taking it you have to drope the trans....another thing is maybe where i positioned the master cyl it is not pushing it enough b/c all this worked good back in November when the black car was still on the road..... tell me what you guys thing and what you would do.....and what you think it would cost to have a place replace the clutch fork and and what not....I am gettn sick of working on it for a while....

If you look at some of my older posts you'll see I had the same problem. All of the sudden the clutch was not disengaging. Unfortunantly I've never really found the problem. I replaced the to bearing, slave cylinder, clutch master cylinder, and the clutch fork pivot ball. It was never fixed after putting it back together, but about a month later, the problem seemed to go away. If I had it in gear, with the clutch pedal all the way to the floor and gunned it, you would hear a grinding or rubbing noise. But like I said its gone now. I was going to replace the clutch fork with one from Lakewood, but it wont fit my T-5. I still have it if anyone needs it. i got it for $30 at summit. pay shipping and Ill sell it for $20.

yeah....it sorta seems to be fading...but then again not...i dunno i am gonna make the spacer just a little bigger to try to make it easier.


EDIT: Yep, added 1/2" to the spacer and she works great....sexy smooth shifting.
