My 85 with 4+3 has a problem in that the clutch does not disengage.  I have watched through the fork access point while the cluch is being depressed and everything appears to be working.  Any ideas?  I am thinking most likely release bearing failure.

By the clutch does not disengage , if you mean that gears grind when you try to shift or are unable to shift; then the INPUT shaft to the transmission is still spinning , when it should not be turning. This could be caused if the fit of the tip of the input shaft is TOO TIGHT WHERE IT SITS IN THE BUSHING AT THE VER REAR OF THE CRANKSHAFT. Other things regarding the pressure plate still SQUEEZING  the clutch disc onto the flywheel would turn the input shaft.
