Clutch

Do you have a 1/4" between release fingers and bearing? Have you tried rotating clutch brake by hand, to check if the tangs are broken off?

 

Also I apologize, I'm trying to understand what your describing.

 

"wont go in gear with engine running" Clutch is not fully releasing. May be a weak pressure plate, broken springs, a sticking intermediate plate. If adjusted properly then the trans needs to come out to inspect and replace the clutch. First check the cable or linkage. Also, with the bottom plate off have someone press in on the clutch and look to see if the bearing is contacting the clutch brake.

 

Sounds like those “Self-adjusting” clutches. I threw mine away when I had the transmission gone thru.

 

How about a pic @Mr Bob, from the inspection plate looking up towards the throw out bearing?

 

Damper springs broken and stuck between clutch discs

 

Put your fingers down in bottom of housing in the crud. Probably gonna find some pieces.
