I did not say that you had replied to my post did I? I just know you were reading it prior to having you rant. If someone asked me for help id help them if i could. Newbies dont automatically know what to do on here. I really dont like you.

And yes its really hard to see but it goes through to the other side so a lot of the pressure on the clutch plates is lost through the crack, makes it a bit like trying to blow up a balloon with a tiny hole in it!

Thats correct, its working fine now but I think ill change the clutch packs in 4th & 5th in the very near future just as precaution. I didnt do it at the time because I wanted to keep costs down just in case I was wrong and it didnt fix the problem. every time I hear it go into 4th & 5th I cross...
