Burning Oil-Grinding 3rd
The inner race was attached to the trans and outer was still in the hole.
Hit the inner with a Chisle to cut it and a puller for the hole.
Cleaned the shaft up with Scotchbrite and put it all back together, That was 2 years ago and it is working fine.

...in your opinion. And in his, there's nothing wrong with showing off some ghetto mods to his Escort. Judge not lest ye be judged, and all that, mkay?

I had this happen twice to me:
first a coil damper spring in the clutch hub cracked, and half a turn of coil fell and jammed between the friction disc and the flywheel, and it would not let the clutch release. I didn't know the spring in the clutch hub had broke; like you, I suspected hydraulic problems so I replaced master cylinder and slave cylinder, and bled and bled, and it still would not release. I finally pulled the clutch apart, and saw the little broken spring piece jammed in place and said Duhhhh
second time it happened, about 15 years later, a piece of organic friction material broke off and again jammed between the rest of the clutch disc and the flywheel, preventing release.
I have been good to my pilot bearings, and have not had a pilot bearing failure yet.

i understand what your saying, but with mine after the original problem, it went away, and then it came back. and honestly i dont think that a piece would lodge and then un lodge and then lodge again.
and whats with all of the escort hating?? im 19 fricken years old, do you expect that i drive a mercedes when the 7 is down?? or how about i do that monstrosity of a hood scoop on the 7?? i was bored and for the sake of argument, my MPG went up after that mod. but alas. it met a terrible terrible death.

Ok, this could be a long shot, but... when you installed the slave cylinder, was the "push rod" thing pointed in the right direction. The second time I replaced my slave cylinder, the push rod was in backwards from the factory. I didn't pay any attention and assumed it was in there right. I don't remember exactly what the symptoms were. It might be worth checking and would take a minimal amount of time.

One week to race day Cody...... We'll have a big party at my place the night before, camping in backyard, bonfire, margaritas, naked volleyball, and maybe a little scrabble. My wife has three horny younger sisters who like guys named Cody.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, i was acually fixing to post on here right after reading your post about you didnt think a piece could become lodged and dislodged, ill add that mine did this on the way home from bryan texas to corpus texas and every once in a while that piece would would come dislodged and my clutch would work fine again.
