Reply to "Clutch not Working"

@DannyP posted:

Robert, the Vintage Spyder has a hydraulic clutch. The master cylinder is a 5/8" Wilwood and the slave is a 7/8" Wilwood also. But I'm not sure at all what Daniel would have used.

If the slave is moving enough to disengage the clutch, then it's either the cross shaft(sometimes the welds break on the throwout bearing arms) or the throwout bearing itself went bad or the clutch fingers are bent.

Unfortunately, the only way to diagnose any of this is to pull the motor.

Pulling the motor is nowhere as easy as on a Speedster. I have the tools and have done it plenty, but it's still not easy.

It uses a Wilwood slave. It is moving enough to disengage the clutch unfortunately is not releasing. The clutch components are Kennedy Engineering Products. What is the best way to look at the clutch, dropping the engine or removing the gear box from the back? If you have some recommendations please let me know.
