More Clutch/gearbox Woes


Best Answer Its a min , 12 February 2019 - 10:31 PM

Hi all,

 

As with my other post, I just wanted to give a quick update to let you know it seems to be all sorted. Looks like it was a combination of new c-clip/backing ring being slightly over-sized, so no primary gear end float, and when I fitted the clutch plate, I didn't leave the pressure plate loose enough for the clutch plate to centre itself before torquing up the pressure plate causing the whole flywheel/clutch assembly to be unbalanced. Now, I have smooth gear change with both the engine running and not!

 

Thanks for all the help and advice.

Well done for eventually finding the problem - happy mini motoring.

Only a pleasure, I have also learn't a tremendous amount from this forum in the last few years even though I have worked on my mini on and off since 1991. I am now busy with a full nut and bolt and body restore.
