460 utilty Clutch

[shadma5]

I restored a 1958 utility to use for odd jobs and snow removal. I ran it over the winter and am having a problem with the clutch disengaging when depressed. I have been having to pull the TA lever to shift. I installed a new clutch and throughout bearing last fall. If I adjust for more travel then the clutch actually starts slipping. An thoughts as to why it won't disengage completely?

#1 flywheel warped did you have it trued when you did the clutch?
#2fingers on pressure plate out of adjustment did you check the height after it was installed on flywheel?
#3 clutch plate installed backwards.
#4 rust in clutch
#5 pilot shaft bushing to tight or seizing

IS this a two step flywheel? You do need to do the TA adjustment with the clutch.
