Looked at everything I could external to the transmission and clutch and couldn't find anything unusual. The clutch cable appears to actuate the clutch fork shaft fully, the oil drained clean with no bits falling out and the oil drain plug magnet was almost spotless. I removed the access plate from the bottom of the transmission and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Tried a dozen times to replace the access plate with the fork on it, never could get it. Had someone hold the shifter in neutral but the car was jacked so high in the rear the small pendulum arm inside the transmission kept swinging to the front of the car and I was unable to hook it with the fork. If that's not the right procedure please let me know.

Looks like engine drop time.
