jamesStag Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi Kevo, very glad to hear that. It was a shame you needed to take the gearbox out again, but I see you did find a few things to tweak when apart. fingers crossed that it is all indeed sorted and that you get to enjoy the car this bank hol w-end. Cheers for now, James. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kevo_6 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Kev,Seats and Tunnel all good I presume. Hi Niall Tunnel cover was a doddle to fit once I marked out and drilled all the holes, the interior went back in yesterday as did the seats which I am very chuffed about . So much more comfortable, no problem with the speedo drive bulge plate and they go right back without fouling. I am only 5’ 11” but I’ve got long legs. I will post some pics soon as we all love pics.

Kevo_6 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Hi I was away in France last week recuperating, got back Saturday night so not been for a run since its all gone back together. So Sunday morning I got the 6 out and went for a spin for an hour, Yay!!! the clutch is really nice and works very smoothly even when very hot. RESULT. But... there is always a but!! Overdrive does not work on 3rd and 4th but its OK in 2nd. I think it may be the connection on the gearbox inhibitor switch for 3rd and 4th. Does anyone have any pointers or things I could try before I remove the front part of the tunnel again? Edited June 8, 2015 by Kevo_6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stuart Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Possibly adjustment on the switch or you may just have managed to knock a wire off the 3/4th switch when putting it all back. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart. Thanks Stuart, I will take the front cover off 1st and see if I can see if anything is off but I doubt that I would be able to reach it easily so I may have to take the whole cover out again. At least it will be easier with the Racetoration’s split cover. Lesson learnt, is to check everything before bolting up!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Remove the gaiter first you maybe able to sort it from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart. Remove the gaiter first you maybe able to sort it from there. Hi All sorted, yippee. I removed the H frame and gaiter, put my boroscope though the gear lever hole to check the connections and the Lucar connection on the furthest switch was off. So measuring back to the gear lever hole I marked the position on the gearbox tunnel, drilled a 20mm hole and using the boroscope and one of my lock picks I was able to put the Lucar connector back on, popped a grommet in. Tested overdrive and all was working well. Many, many thanks to all for your help and support. It is very much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marc R Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well done Kevo, congratulation and maybe one day we will have a chance to catch up during one of your "recuperating" trip in France. Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevo_6 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Thanks Chaps. Peter, Gynaecology has been mentioned to me more than once. Marc, I have an old farm house in department 53 and try and get over at least 6 or 7 times a year. Normally not for recuperating but for working as it was a tad out dated. It would be good to catch up one day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kevo_6 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 My clutch has got progressively more sticky again to a point that I hade trouble getting into gear again at the weekend, so I have now replaced the master & slave cylinders and bleed it tonight. (so now the whole clutch system is new apart from the cross shaft and fork) The pedal travel is much better but still sticky so I disconnected the slave push rod and put a bar on the cross shaft and pushed, I can feel the bearing going to the pressure plate but further on as its pushing against the pressure plate you can hear it creaking which is obviously making the sticky feel to the pedal. What do you guys think? Could it be a duff pressure plate or the bearing carrier? This is turning into a right old saga & just before IWE too, also we are off to Santander early September and driving up through South West of France on a 2 week tour so I really, really want this sorted by then. Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR NIALL Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Looks like it's Box Out again and a serious look at Cross Shaft and Carrier,as you say something's not right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
