        Did you miss this?

Hi to the List,

The clutch only can go halfway and I can�t find out why.  It does not disengage yet.  
Adjusted the master down as much as it goes.  Put new master, new slave, blown the hydraulic line out.  Took the transmission out to see if there is anything in the clutch area, but found nothing wrong.  
Am I missing something?
