5 Speed clutch
Posted: Thu Apr 27, 2017 7:09 pm
I upended the gearbox to get it out of the way and upon being lifted a tube fell out!
Looking at the manual it would appear that a tube was pressed into the front cover and acted as a guide for the release bearing?
This appears to have been loose for some time as it has distinct evidence of having been rotated in the clutch release bearing housing and has marked the gearbox front cover.
Does anyone know the dimensions / availability of the front oil seal? If I have to take of the cover to replace the tube I may as well replace that as well.
I can get approx 1.8 mm movement at the extreme end of the input shaft. As this will be supported on a new spigot is this excessive? ( There is no sight of oil leak or nasty noises as yet.)
Lastly how does the big D shaped thing fit into the scheme of things?
Many thanks
Vince
