Here's a thought.

The guy I bought this car from conveyed his belief that the reason for the lack of lockup was that he used the original friction plate due to it's lack of wear, and so had purchased a new one but hadn't got around to installing it.

I assume the new rebuild clutch packs installed in the transmission used friction material that differed from original, to be compatible with more modern low friction hydraulic fluid. Could it simply be that the original direct drive clutch friction plate with modern fluid would slip so badly that the driver would not feel any engagement whatsoever? I've been assuming all along that one would feel something, but maybe not. Thoughts?
