Do the finger lay parallel to pressure plate. What is the thickness of the clutch disc. Some discs are thicker than new ones which will cause fingers to be tilted toward flywheel. Some rebuilt pressure plates have been machined too much and fingers tilt away from flywheel. Are all fingers the same, I always check with feeler gauge between finger and throwout bearing after tractor is assembled and in at least three different positions by turning engine. They don't always check out the same in all positions due to misalignment of clutch release brg on carrier. Also, did you assemble tractor with clutch bolted to flywheel or do it the right way and hang pressure plate on input shafts and bolt on from underneath to prevent damage to pressure plate or disc. Next thing, what disc, four pad, six pad. The six pads are not as good at releasing as the four pad. On the four pad, the trick is to bend the wings pads are on so outside edge of pad is a few thousanths of an inch from touching when laying flat on pressure plate. This allows pad to spring away from flywheel for better release. This was something IH came up with after having a tough time getting good clutch release on new 7 and 806 tractors and then again on later series. Also, lube the splines, preferably with molykote spline lube. Hey, I have been there, many times.
