Good call. That gave me the length I needed to be able to shift smoothly and get it into reverse. Pedal needs to be on the floor though!

Now a day later, I'm back to square 1. Not sure why but now the clutch isn't fully disengaging again. What is that telling me? Lengthen the rod, new linkage , or is my clutch shot?
