I know someone who dropped his tranny 11 times trying to solve a clutch problem. he tryed to rely on tech boards to solve his problem. more time is wasted on clutch problems than anything else. take it to someone who knows what he is doing. I never spend more than 2 minutes diagnosing whats wrong and whether or not the clutch is bad. I never spend more that 20 minutes making clutches work correctly provided the clutch is in good shape and all thats needed is proper adjustment. in your case it sounds like the clutch IS the problem.
