I used a first line replacement which had an alloy clevis.
From memory I didn't have to removed the bottom engine steady but it was an awkward job. The air con on ours didn't work so I got rid of the pipes, much more room in that area now.
If you need info on the nylon clutch shaft bushes just give a shout...
Still don't really know whats going on with the clutch shaft top bolt affair...
This place is so much better than the crappy face book...don't let this place die...
Yeah, the rectangular heavy duty plastic thing broke at the clutch pedal. The FirstLine replacement was also plastic. The plastic one lasted 21 years, so this new one should be good.
When I press the clutch pedal, there is tremendous resistance, then the arm suddenly moves, and the clutch pedal goes down as it should. Maybe the bushes have worn and the shaft is out of line, which is causing it to bind. Or maybe something is broken. I will find out soon.
I may well be back here for some info as I proceed with the repair this week.
I've ordered:-
[1] Fork Release kit from GSF. Make Topran. It has the two plastic bushes, pin, arm, and shaft. Hopefully it will do the job
[2] Clutch Tube Guide
[3] Clutch kit. Make LUK. Pressure plate, friction plate, release bearing
[4] Gearbox differential oil seals LH and RH for the drive shafts
Also need to get some gearbox oil and brake cleaner.
Never used brake cleaner before. I'm looking at the 5ltr GSF cleaner for £8.40. Don't know if that's any good.
Glad I am not the only one ripping out air con pipes!
