Strange how this Clutch Saga is prevalent !..........When I found my Capri some 4 years ago, I drove it back to Mornington from Ballarat and it drove like a dream (AFTER SITTING in shed FOR 15 YEARS IYDMU!!!!).......no Clutch problems at all !
Pulled Eng & GB out , overhauled engine, and next item was to replace all Gaskets and Seals on a very leaky box thanks to some yo-yo putting in Selector Seals that were 100% useless and had a 1mm gap for oil to slush out !!!........they weren't worn out; just wrong as proven by eye/calipers and part number still on them !......lucky I filled Box b4 leaving Ballarat, and she lost 1/4 of fill by the time I travelled the 200km back to home, with no damage..........
.........not satisfied with leaving well enough alone, I had to self-criticize the amount of "slop" in the Primary Input Shaft which wasnt due to worn bearings. So I "spaced" up the gap between the Front Cover/Thrust Support and the Main Fr Brg Circlip just so there was 90% of "slop" removed...............BIG MISTAKE !...........now cant select ANY gears unless I double de-clutch which I havent done for many decades.............it wasn't pretty !
:-( ..........back in the shed till I have time to r&r GB and remove offending spacers !.........BUGGER !
