Because the system is still accessible, I would probably take out the three bolts and install them in the three holes. If they in deed do the release thing, I would then spin the input shaft to see if there were interference with the F/W bolts. If it is smooth, and the bolts move the lever about 1/2 to 5/8" farther than the "flat" you indicate, I would believe the clutch and PP are OK. People have done two unfortunate things (really more, but these are common) to clutches. One is to cut the linkage shorter when the adjustment runs out, and the other is to cut the mounting surface of the FW to allow the disk to be pinched harder. This requires removing the F/W (a split) so would be more intense than a new disk. It could also have been machined wrong. I do not know the step depth of the F/W, but it is available, and easy to measure. On most new installations the fingers are almost always near flat when installed. JimN
