Well I'll call that a success. It took most of the day, but Grace is now sporting a new clutch, not that you can see it of course. The nicely painted gearbox crossmember on the other hand..
No major issues getting it all back together, initial struggles to get the 'box to go on the last inch or so were soon resolved once I realised that I was trying to move it forward against the CPS mounting point, doh! Add to that having to remove it again because I'd removed the clutch fork so I could have a good look at the input shaft alignment and that made up a fair bit of extra time.
Has is made any difference? Oh yes, gear selection at a standstill is as smooth as silk, reverse goes in without a hint of noise.
Quite pleased with myself, all done single handed with a combination of jacks, ropes and blocks of wood. Always nice to have a good end result.
