Well I followed the ffr post and tried it all. Yes, wheels, off the ground, in third gear up to 5k, and stand on the brakes, twice. STILL stuck. At this point, I'd love for the screwdriver pry job to do the job, but I have a feeling Bill K might be right in the end. I drew the gearbox into the bell with longer bolts, as soon as they touched each other, thinking it was the opening in the bell that was "precise" not the pilot bushing, which it could have been, but I just won't know, one way or another, until I break it down. I have enough of an opening in the bell to be able to loosen, and remove, the pressure plate bolts, without pulling the trans out, to see what's going on in there, (maybe) before I drop the gearbox.
