My engine is out right now...has been for a while. Anyway I put a stainless clutch line on. So I am ready to put my engine back in now. But I looked at the clutch realese fork before I did anything and I noticed the push rod was pushed out past the clutch release fork. When I tried to push it back into place it wouldn't budge. I took the release cylinder out and what not to try to get it back in place, but it wouldn't go. so what i did was get the release cyliner as close to the bell housing as possible and got long bolts which pulled it together. So I got it back together with the push rod behind the release fork. But now I can not get the release fork to move like it normally does. It feels like the clutch release cylinder is stuck or something....any ideas? I could really use some help on this one, im stumped.

I tried to, but I don't think that would make it not be able to move backwards into itself. when I push the clutch it kind of pulls itself to the floor. I don't think you can bleed it untill the engine is back in to give resistance.

Dont know about the cylinder. Yes you could put the fork spring on wrong. Their is a diagram in the WSM showing the correct way.

yeah, I have it on that way....I didn't take it out untill it was already screwed up. I might just take the damn thing out and see what I can come up with.....it's just a PITA to get to.
