Hi Guys,
Finally gave up on all of the “easier” solutions to free up the clutch and pulled the engine and clutch. (left the gearbox in place).
Upon removal of the pressure plate assembly I found the clutch plate indeed stuck to the flywheel and was able to free it up with very little effort.
This brings me to the problem. There was no spigot bearing.
I will order one on monday but would like to know what symptoms I may have seen in not having the bearing.
1)could this have made the clutchplate stick?
2) could this have been the reason that the slave cylinder push rod needed to be adjusted almost all the way to the end?
3) could this have damaged something else?
4) is it possible that I do not need it? There is no bearing in the flywheel so it is not like it was stuck there.
Thanks
Robb
