They lock release bearing fork to shaft unfortunatly. Happy days. Moral is. ALWAYS change roll pins when changing a clutch.

They are supposed to go all the way through without being sheared off in the shaft.

There are holes in the shaft and holes in the fork. These must be lined up and the roll pins driven in to lock fork to shaft. If fork has moved on shaft you will have to remove it from shaft to drive old pins out with a good pin punch.

Have never done one of these but looking at manuals it would seem you can check clutch for function without having gearbox in place.

Remember the clutch fork PULLS the Thrust Bearing towards the gearbox, so the fork has to be positioned in between the Thrust Bearing and Pressure Plate when refitting the gearbox.

Most vehicle are fitted with a push clutch not a pull clutch so the fork position when re-fitting the gearbox is very important...

so does that mean the fork sits into the bearing or infront or behind the hole thing tanks an as the slave failed will that mean i need to replace that again

The fork sits in the groove between the pressure fingers and the flange on the back of the release bearing. IT DOES NOT sit behind the flange it sits in front of it.

Hi,you can test clutch without gearbox in place,but if you do use a clutch alignment tool or clutch plate will drop making it harder to put gearbox back in.
