there was never a bush in the rover k series, so doubt there will be one, never had mine apart.

No bush in my 1.8!

you mean you forgot to fit the spigot bush

Doh! Is that what it was for? Maybe that's why I was soooo quick

yer arms fell off

transverse boxes are differently set up than longitudinally ones (input shaft runs right through the box so is supported both ends or very near one end )

A simple "no" would suffice

Shoulder bolts don't hold your arm on! It's the technical term for the spare ones that get thrown over your shoulder

No I didn't have any left over

i dint think fer a second yer would have

I think it's one of the few times that I haven't found bolts missing on it!

most of the bolts on mine are present, but rounded off

many thanks for that
now how do you line the bloody thing up then when replaceing tne clutch as the hole in the flywheel is bigger then the hole in the clutch plate as my clutch aligning tool is no good for this ????
any help

line it up by eye or use a cut off broom handle wrapped with electricians tape

one of these they dont use hole in flywheel Laser 2646 Clutch Alignment Tool/Universal

I use the force

You can do it by feel too! Feel around the edge to get the pressure plate central, works on most clutches, did it on my 1.8, never done one of them tho!
