  1. Thanks everybody that has helped. I have now fixed it. The clutch foot pedal assembly was in good condition with little wear . Totally Refurbished clutch arm & gearbox bushes which had significant wear. Slave cylinder replaced as a precaution. Bled system really well. Would not work when assembled. Removed again and decided placed a 2mm spacer between thrust bearing and thrust lever. Now works perfectly. Thanks again Kevin
  2. Hi Pete, Can I just confirm that you mean .625 and not 7/8” as most spares books suggest the latter. If so do you know the part number? thanks again Kevin
  3. Thanks for all your help I have lots to look into. i intend to take a look this weekend. Appreciate all the help. Thanks Kevin
  4. Thanks for your response, Possibly, not taken the gearbox out again yet, however seems similar. I have read that the clutch release lever is rather susceptible to minor wear in linkages etc which is exaggerated due to the effect of the lever. Is that true? As this is vehicle is new to me I cannot guarantee all the parts are from the correct model. It appears to have had a hard life with getting in on the road a priority rather than quality of repair.
  5. Hi Pete, pin is in place, checked earlier today. Is the pin fitted up or down? Will try bleeding as you suggest. The damper spring securing plates appear to have caught flywheel bolts etc and worn away allowing spring to drop out. Is this typical of misalignment ? The rear plate appears to be straight and have replaced all bolts and dowels Kevin
  6. Thanks for you help. I am pretty sure I fitted the new plate with the side marked ‘flywheel’ towards the flywheel. I will be happy if it’s that simple. I have attached picture of the original plate. The picture is of the flywheel face. This face is the flatter face.
  7. I have recently encountered a problem with the clutch actuation on my 1980 Spitfire 1500. The clutch had become extremely noisy when fully pressed. On removal the driven plate had been catching the flywheel bolts and also the cover plate levers had been damaged and looked as though the clutch centre had gone well over centre. Replaced cover plate, driven plate and release bearing. All other parts looked good no major wear. Reassembled and clutch did not release at all. Extended the push rod with a socket, clutch worked but sounded like it was catching the flywheel. It all appears to point to problems with the clutch operating lever. I intend to remove the gearbox and replace all the wearing items in that lever area. I cannot remember seeing a tolerance ring would that be significant? Would small amount of wear be so significant. Any thoughts
