clutch fork ?
« on: January 03, 2010, 18:33:06 »
Well think my fork for the clutch plate has gone. got good bite on clutch pedel and at normal hight but wont disingage the clutch when i press the pedel. Now the fun bit can it be replaced by just splitting the engine and gearbox or is it gearbox out time.

How can you split them without taking it out :-k

Anyhoo, if you can reach inside far enough to disengage the clutch fork from the pushrod arm and the back of the release bearing then I guess you could do, but how small are your hands :shock:

Was thinking of dropping the props and seeing if the gear box would push back for enough for a gap big enough to get it out. If that make sence just if its gearbox out job then its down to a garage to do it for me.

Within about an inch the geabox hits the rear floor, so you need to tilt the whole engine/box backwards to start off.

personly I would drop the box and fit a new clutch in the prosess if you have time and the mony.. when you get a new fork get a hd one or weld a flat bit of steel on the back before you put it back in. its realy not that bad if you have a few lads to help lift it

Well the clutch was heading for £100 of that, so not too bad given how much work it is.

a bit late but yes it is possible , but a little tight. i actually replaced the spigot brg this way . messed it up the first time i did it (when i took the box totally out) and was so anoyed was convinced the box wasnt coming out  again. rear mains leaking now .that'll teach me not to use gen parts :doh:
