right then.... I have recently had the box out to fit a new clutch, Its now back together with the exception of drivers side driveshaft and wheel, the engine runs perfectly except one gearbox issue.
today I ran the engine (front up on axle stands) to have a play with the gear linkage.
I only have the passenger side driveshaft fitted as im still waiting to get the other side back.
It seems that I can select gears fine but when in gear, the driveshaft/wheel is not rotating :scratch:
there is also a slight knock/rattle from the box when in gear and bring the clutch up:cry:
the clutch I used is an old bb tuning 4 paddle clutch I had refurbished, But I re-used the release bearing from my sachs clutch. Question is, is this release bearing suitable/right size for this application, or should I have got one that goes with the clutch? and in regards to the lack of rotation with the wheel, would it really matter that I only have one driveshaft on?
thanks in advance
