well i got round to changing my clutch today, and what an arse it was, i started at 8am and finished at 7:30pm only stopping for an hour for lunch and dinner, it was an absolute bitch of a job to get the gearbox back in, it took me, a friend and my dad about 2 hours to line the fork and release bearing and force the box in
Blue406, im going to make you a guide on how to do the clutch, but to be honest i really struggled, its not an easy clutch to do on axle stands, unless you can get it quite high, i should have it ready for tommorow, but there wont be many pictures as the camera died on me half way through

the worst part was as i said, refitting the gearbox, if anyone has done one of those clutches before they'll know what its like, but it was well worth it as my clutch is sooooo light now

not like a 406 at all
though its rather anoying as i cant stop stalling

Sod that!

My clutch is behaving itself right now. I think it make all be down to oil contamination from my leaking sump.
So, I have decided to just do the sump and see if the clutch slip clears away.
