My car is apart now and the shimming was in range of the .125 to .200 at .176. My clutch would begin to engage about 1/3 off the floor.

If the car is started in neutral on flat ground, it will shift normal, but as stated when under load will not? That would point toward the binding.

That is exactly what it's doing, under normal circumstances on level ground or if the engine is running everything is perfect but when there is a strain on the discs they seem to be binding for some reason, either on the spline or I have it shimmed wrong. I had the car on the hoist tonight and when I get someone to push the clutch in both desks have plenty of wiggle room. I'm going to try to reach in there with feeler gauges and see how much they're actually is. There's not much room to look in there besides those bottom vents. Regardless I guess it needs to come apart I'm just hoping for some magical thing to happen so I don't have to lol.
