clutch or bearings?

[tom203]

yes it still continues to bind up with the head off. the only remidy i have found for everything to spin was to remove clutch springs.

Summary......trans in neutral. still binding with no installed head- but no binding if clutch springs are removed- I can't see what is hanging up in clutch assembly that would be effected by clutch pressure.The primary gear is tight on trans input shaft- no back and forth play?

i would rip out the whole clutch assembly and investigate deeper from there
