Non-releasing clutch
The setup I am running is a Richmond super T-10 to a small block. I have a Lakewood belhousing and I orginally had a Center Force Dual force clutch. This uses a diaphranm pressure plate with a Chevy disc since the spline is 26 not ten. I have tried numerous hydraulic throwout bearings and at present have a Howe bearing. I am getting good bearing movement and the pedal pressure is reasonable. The clutch refuses to release. I bought a Hays setup, diaphram with Chevy type disc. hoping this would cure the problem, it didn't. The disc is in the correct way as was the CenterForce. Still no release. Any ideas?

Just a thought . Are you shure the clutch is not releasing? Could the input shaft of the trans be binding in the pilot bearing or be touching the crankshaft?

Since you are in humid Florida, be sure that the clutch isn't just stuck to the plate from hummidity. The newer the clutch or the longer it sits, the more it happens. Good reason to alway put the stick in neutral before turning the key or risk kissing the garage wall.
