    That part I understand. I meant pics of the interior of clutch / guide tube / throwout bearing / flywheel / etc. would probably be helpful to diagnose.

    Just checking... which side of the slave cylinder mount are you installing the slave on... If you install the slave wrong, it will have this same symptom...

    I'll get pics of the inside tonight. I didn't snap any when it was apart last time. The slave is installed correctly. I did think of that :)

    Do you have the throw out bearing installed in the correct direction.

    Sorry I had to ask. Believe it or not I have seen it done on a different brand car.

    Still haven't figured out the clutch issue. Here are some photos of the inside.

    Have you double checked the bolt that attaches the yoke to the shaft? If that's sheared off internally, it might cause this problem.
