Clutch help

Oh poo just thought I can change the box and all would be fine

 

At least you only have to take the engine out this time

 

yes its only 4 bolts

 

Ok so if i change the flywheel will I need to reshim the end float on the crank?

 

Would seem likely but it may be the same, you'd need to measure.
Have you dropped the engine yet to see if I'm right first?

 

Not yet the engine is coming out the weekend, managed to get a 228mm flywheel just about to order the clutch etc, was going to order shims just in case.
Looks like my old box was a 3rib with a later 091 bell housing 215mm clutch, the clutch was fully adjusted with a nut and washers added to give it more throw and it was difficult getting gears, however i assumed it was the clutch on the way out/stretched cable and a really knackered gear linkage ( was correct about linkage).
Out of interest what is the depth of a 091 bell housing vs a 002? in mm?

 

Your later bell housing and your 6 rib one are the same as far as I know. I'd have taken it out and had a look before buying parts blind. I don't understand why peeps do that personally, but good luck. Your 215 clutch is also fine for a 2l.

 

Just wanted to get it fixed, was hoping to get one days use out of it this summer

 

We're waiting with baited breath, when are you taking it back out?

 

Hopefully this Saturday
if it wasn't for this thing called work that gets in the way it would have been today!

 

Good news the new 228 flywheel and clutch are fitted and i can get all the gears
Thanks to @Flakey for the advice

 

Brilliant, thank God for that, I've been sweating
