New clutch time!
All stuff disconnected from the top side of the engine, gearbox oil drained, drive shafts and hubs removed:
Some gearbox bolts a pig to get to from the top (under all that pipework!):
Gearbox dropped:
Old cover plate:
New clutch and cover plate on. Notice the patent pending clutch alignment tool!
The actual clutch plate wasn't that worn but there was play in the release bearing and the cover plate flaps were quite 'flat', which is what was probably causing the slip.
I also changed a CV boot that needed doing and replaced a ball joint that was looking a bit tired.
It took longer than I'd planned to do it but it was a good learning exercise and I saved some good pennies by doing it myself, with a little help from friends!
