Just posting an update. I got access to the clutch and went through the procedure to adjust the intermediate plate. We'll see if that does the trick. I did not see any leaks on the master or slave cylinder. While I was under there I noticed that the ball and thread for the clutch arm basically comes in and out of the hole indicating that the threads are completely stripped. This may or may not be contributing, but I've got to get it fixed.

Has anyone successfully heli-coiled that ball and thread while the engine is still in place? I was able to get a tap in there to re-tap the threads a long time ago, but it was tight. I knew I would have to address this eventually, I guess now is the time.

Also, is the ball and thread mean to be an adjustment or should it be tightened all the way in?
