Ok, I've been beating my head on this crankwalk and pedal sticking to the floor issue. Sorry for the ignorance, it's just that I haven't experienced it with the 3 turbo dsm's that I've owned. Below is the breakdown of how our clutch system system works:

Hydraulic clutch system:
-press the clutch pedal; thus creating pressure which in turns push the piston inside the clutch slave cylinder.
-piston extends out the clutch slave cylinder rod which then pushes on the release fork.
-release fork presses the throw-out bearing in the middle of the diaphragm spring; which pulls the pressure plate away from clutch disc.

With that being said, you'd have to have a huge amount of endplay (max tolerance is .0071", correct me if I'm wrong) for the diaphragm springs to not push the throw-out bearing back and reverse the procedure above. I don't know what the exact travel is for the throw-out bearing when the release fork is fully engaged by the stock clutch slave rod so I can't get estimate what the "point of no contact" is (which is why people are having a hard time shifting when experiencing crankwalk). I have read posts of people having as much as 10mm of end play; that's .39". I think it's more than just the bearing that is being chewed at that point.

As for the left hand turns, that's a whole different story and I don't even want to speculate on it [&o]
