Has anyone had a problem with:-
a) The clutch push rod sticking in the engine when the gearbox was removed
b) The dowels on the clutch cover plate being bent.
The connecting rod has come free now and on checking it doesnt appear to be bent. The tapered end towards the engine block where it was stuck seems pretty dry and slightly gunked up but not rusty. So I assume that this can just be cleaned and re used. Not sure if it needs any lube on that end ? Maybe someone can advise.
Removing the clutch cover plate was a nightmare. Tight on like V tight on and I struggled to get it off but the net result on inspection is that one of the dowels is bent. Does anyone know if its possible to drive these out and replace them with new ? If so part numbers or any other helpful comment would be much appreciated.
Just so you know Im handy but Im not a mechanic ( I guess you already figured that out ! )
