What was the out come of the old clutch, was it worn or damaged?
I've not done a clutch yet, but i am aware that you need to 'lock' the return bearing in correctly as the clutches are pull type not push type.

Use the 'search button', you my be surprised!

Hi b13bat the spline part in the middle had snapped on the clutch but the cluch had no ware as it had been fitted last July and only done 5000 miles so this is the second time I have fitted one on this car. I think now it could be the flywheel it looked ok and in good condion but you never know :-(
