 Re: My clutch can't decide if it's buggered or not Paul, if a nut is loose or missing, it's not so much that the input shaft won't be in line, more that the bellhousing will distort when the clutch pedal is depressed. Work out the two-stage leverage multiplication at the pedal end and fork end to understand why...  ken 602 wrote: Hmm, Ken does have a point. If the box isn't mated correctly to the engine, i.e. nuts loose or missing [seen many times] then the input shaft won't be in line. Could cause the problem and worth a check. One liners, where do they get you?

It will depend on whether it's a top nut or bottom nut missing. That's 2 calculations to do.

Re: My clutch can't decide if it's buggered or not Nuts are fine, none missing broken loose or otherwise. Guess I'll stick a clutch and bearing in it. Thanks for your ideas though.
