Season's Best to Y'all, I need advice before I pull apart my engine/transmission to attempt to solve a clutch/shift binding problem. Here is the issue. When I "feather" the clutch to creep ahead or creep in reverse then the clutch disc will not fully release. ie depressing the clutch pedal does not fully release the disc. My cure is to turn off the engine, horse the shifter into neutral, restart the engine, blip the throttle several times and then USUALLY all is well again until the next time I have to "creep". The clutch pedal feels absolutely normal when this disc hanging/shift binding occurs. Pumping the clutch offers no cure. Yet in normal driving the disc hanging/shift binding never occurs.
