Okay, so that means the flywheel is supposed to be flush with the pressure plate, which is how i have it. At this point i'm thinking about every possibility but no conclusion yet..........

check the slave cly. bleed again? make sure it is pushing correctly, or maybe you need a longer rod on the slave cly. if it engages when eng is off, then it might be that.

I just picked up a r154 that I haven't tested. If you are near by I can throw it in the back of the truck, take it over, bolt it up and verify if it's the transmission. It would have to be Friday or Sunday. Let me know just send me a PM.
