Git baggin' clutch, pass the matches

The biting point has been getting lower and lower on the tratter so a couple of days ago I checked the fluid level in the master cylinder and it was black/metalic in colour so I bought a new Delphi one from Craddocks a few days ago, fitted it and no poxy difference.

So I've bought a new Lockheed slave cylinder and flexible hose, spent all afternoon fitting and bleeding it and the bloody thing is worse I can't get any forward gears and reverse is crunching until you ram it in. The pedal isn't all the way to the floor but there was no slack travel like before but now no gears as opposed to low biting point.

I though sod it I'll put the old Delphi slave cylinder back on and the Lockheed had pulled the push rod and clip out with it when I took it off, I tried to put it back in but the clutch fork has moved all the way back in and I can't reach it

I'm currently disconnecting everything to take the engine out and see what's gone wrong in there.

Sometimes I tratter ownershipp is really really crap

Sounds like pivot pushed through the release arm.

I did an engine swap a couple of months ago and put a HD one on and a new release bearing, I've only got the starter motor to disconnect and then it's engine out time and see what's happened

So much for the HD clutch fork then..





It knackered the release bearing to...

All replaced and it's like driving a new car, clutch is much lighter and biting point is back to where it should be

I don't know why I know how to do stuff like this but I'm glad I do

That's pathetic. I hope that you're going to get your money back? I'd be after a donation for the time and effort too.
