So if the pedal resistance is normal when you push the pedal down and it returns to the top, clutch is not slipping and you can change gears without any problems then everything sounds fine.

The OP lost all pressure in the pedal when he went to push on it.

Yup, OK thought I had a problem.

Thanks

I stopped running it in gear though didnt want to risk messing up the flywheel. I am towing it back from Gwinnett tonight...going to start tearing it down this weekend. I need your trailer...UHAUL is charging me like $70 with insurance.

My Trailer? I borrow one from a friend, but I think thats going to be a long haul seeing that I am in Murrieta, California. lol

BTW loved the steak place in PeachTree, GA and thumbs up to Wild Bills lol

Now what do you mean by RPM hang? When I shift, I notice that the RPMs hang up for a bit before falling, but I thought that was an aid to shifting, gives me time to find gear and usually is at perfect RPM when I let the clutch out.

And I dont go to either state school, but I'm more an OSU guy.

Girlfriend goes there so I basically go there.

Yes that happens because part of the flywheel is not allowing the whole flywheel to slow down as soon. Most people find it annoying. I found it very annoying since it makes bounching the rpms very slow.
