Seem to remember something similar , is the ball bearing in the release mechanism in there in the correct position ? Also how far are the clutch pressure springs screwed down ?

Thanks :)
For some reason it got filed in the AMC folder, so it's easy to miss.

Here's the iFixit page, which has a few edits & corrections that are missing in the PDF:
