[FC] The Latest on my FC Clutch Problem

[Greenbrier Goon]

First, I would like to thank everyone who has offered suggestions on solving the clutch problem on my FC.  Although the problem has not been solved, I have eliminated some possibilities.
 
I have checked the amount of pull that the cable is exerting on the rod at the differential.  It is more than the minimum 7/8 inch required.  I checked this after driving around for a few minutes and allowing the problem to arrise again as it does after about 3 minutes of driving.
 
Now I am positive that it is either the clutch itself or the pilot bushing.  I think it is most likely the pilot bushing.
 
I will have to bite the bullet and pull out the drivetrain again to examine things.  As I mentioned before, the NOS input shaft seemed to fit very snug in the new pilot bushing.  That plus the fact that I did not soak the bushing in oil before installing it(I simply sprayed oil on it) might be why this problem exists.
