Check the clutch actuator is correctly adjusted (take the outer casing off where the cable goes into the engine). Failing that, there's summat wrong with the clutch or pushrods. You DID put 2 back in?

I've been in bars before - usually just before Richard who nips to the bog as we walk in there......... :lol:




new clutch plate should be thicker than old ones, so the clutch twizzly bit (technical engineering term) needs adjusting. (See my earlier post if you put both roddy bits (another TET) in). :roll:
