Any thoughts guys?

The worst part for me is always getting the input shaft back into the pilot bearing on reassembly.  I've taken the engine out both times I've done the clutch and replaced the sump gasket and rear oil seal at the same time, though it probably involves more work than dropping the 'boxs out I think it's safer.

This might be a bit late in the day but i would recommend that when changing the clutch you also change the actuator fork. This wares with use and if not changed can bend in half, or as happened to one of my previous vehicles the pivot went straight through it the fork. It probably only affects higher mileage vehicles (mine had 160,000 on when it went), but at £20 i would change it while it's apart.

It is really easy, there is a metal clip on the back that fits onto the pivot. When you get it all apart it will be obvious. :D

Aparantely once you replace it, you weld on a nut or something to stop it from happening again.

I think this is your problem, from what you have described to me on MSN and what Ive read here and at the DOC forum.

The guy on the DOC forum had also just changed his slave cylinder  :roll:
