That helps! Questions now:

1. The release fork has a return spring. So if you press on the fork where
the slave normally would (as you can with a finger), should it... spring
back?

2. If it doesn't, what does that mean?

I can reach in there and push that in, and pull it back. No springy-ness
(wow, great grammer) at all.

Hi Eric,
I wouldn't worry about it, the spring is probably more for holding
the fork on the ball. I think just the scuffing by the pressure plate
would be enough to kick out of the way. Like you don't have tons of
mechanical linkage to push like back like a Real Jeep:
