Refitting Gearbox

[Gilles]

A few times in the past, when the gearbox simply does not want to move past the last inch, I noticed that rotating the crank slowly helps to synchronize the clutch disk with the transmission shaft..

When you are under there sweating and cursing, you will try everything ...LOL

Actually, because you are already at the gearbox, rotating one shaft flange while holding the other (in any gear) will accomplish the same thing.

Yeh tried that too.

Ok. Whilst the greabox was in, bolted flush & before refitting anything I started her up, & whilst in neutral I whipped on the handbrake to ensure the was no sticking (ie no effect on revs) & then handbrake off & through the gears each time engaging clutch & checking for wheel speed....all good.

So put everything back on & back on the deck the went to reverse out of the garage & as I pushed the clutch it there was a bit of a clunk & the pedal stayed down & no clutch engagement. F*&%K!!!

Back up she goes, pulled slave cylinder out which is a touch more difficult with all the undercarriage & exhaust back in, & the slave cylinder has come apart.

Ok to the matter at hand. When I pulled the salve cylinder off all the fluid had leaked out. What's the best way to bleed the clutch without a pressure bleeder & do I need to bleed the brakes as well because they use the same brake fluid revsiviour?

So I have replaced the slave cylinder & bled it using the method found on this forum of utilising the rear left brake caliper & running a small clear hose to the clutch slave cylinder & pumping through the brake fluid. Did this 5 times with the clutch depressed & not drepressed but the clutch is still not working.

Apart from contuing to bleed I'm lost for idea's.

Any suggestions would be appreiate
