Hello all,
I'm looking for your help here. I've renewed clutch, clutch cable, clutch pedal, release bearing, relase fork plastic bush. Clutch won't disengage.
To eliminate possible cable and pedal issues , i've checked the movement of the clutchfork at the box itself by detaching cable and moving the fork by hand (molegrip). I'm in doubt whether the movements are as they are supposed to be. I've removed the rubber gaiter to look inside and i can see only limited movement of the diaphragm. Also, the fork seems to tilt somewhat clockwise. I'm thinking upon gearbox assembly the fork might have disengaged with a release bearing clip. And thus part of the movement of the fork is lost in the 'twist', hampering the required leverage and movement.
Anyway, is there a way to check wheter the fork is properly engaged with the release bearing while the box is still attached to the engine? Maybe the fork is bent, are bent forks a common issue? I reckon changing the fork without removing the gearbox is a big no-no
Thanks in advance for your help and advice!
