Clutch problem on horizon ? Wadda U think ?

[nick heppinstall]

Just been for a run round to blow off the cobwebs after work. Noticed over the past few months that reverse has been a bit of a pain to engage. Now first gear has become very notchy and difficult to engage. The clutch pedal also feels a bit strange. Does something need adjusting or could it be more sinister ?

If you are lucky it is just a hydraulic problem, however the clutch forks are know to wear/bend and that means and engine out job (or at least and engine/gearbox split). The clutch/fork can be changed by moving the engine forward a few inches on a jack rather than completely removing it.

If it does turn out to be major work get the fork and pivot changed - only a few pounds extra.
