I reinstalled the rod and obseved TO bearing with the inspection cover removed. The TO bearing seems to be hanging up and not allowing the rod to fully retract. When I pry against the fork to get the rod to retract I can hear the springs in the pressure plate relaxing, the TO bearing moves slightly and the fork/rod moves back a little less than an inch. I even tried a small contolled couple drops of lubricant behind the TO bearing and working it back and forth. Still no luck getting it to push the bearing back on its own.
At this point I am wondering if pressure plate fingers are too weak to push the bearing back. Fun times. I really am hoping to not drop the tranny.
