Clutch Disengagement??
To check whether the clutch is disengaging, shouldn’t I be able to have someone step on the clutch pedal and try to spin the transmission yolk by hand. I can’t get the yolk to spin. This is a Ram Clutch. I have the forward level on the transmission forward and I’m trying to spin the transmission yolk with someone flooring the clutch pedal. This is a new installation. I put the engine in the car and I and trying to determine if the clutch is disengaging before I go any further with the installation.
Please help

Some drag is normal, especially on a new clutch. Slowly release the pedal while turning the yoke and see where it grabs. It should allow you to release the pedal some ways before grabbing. If it grabs right off the floor it's not good.

Thanks, this is very helpful. I wasn't relishing the thought of pulling the engine back out,
Thanks
