Quick note from Max - He's pretty sure you cant put the Clutch plate in backwards because it wont go on the Flywheel because the spline gearbox side of the clutch plate is longer than the flywheel side. Therefore the plate wouldnt touch the flywheel if put in back to front.

Do you have trouble working the gear stick? Or the clutch? We're also thinking the spigot bearing may be snagging on the input shaft keeping the shaft rotating and also causing the gears to crunch.

Hope this is help not hinderance....

Hi Mike,
Nice jobs on the truck when you said that it hard to get into gear ... does it stop the engine and before when you got the truck was it working fine

Default sticky gears

Had to rectify the same gear sticking problem with mine as well. Was having a hard time getting gears and when I did had very little pull.

As Tony said above, my problem was with the release bearing hitting a very small ‘burr’ on the drive shaft. Once this was knocked off I was left with a new problem that I couldn’t get 4th gear. I fixed that, once I turned the gear stick round 180 degrees facing the right way!

Lucky I took before and after pictures of everything. You can see what I mean about the gear lever in the two pictures
