peejay4A Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 So if Nige's bearing is on back to front and probably not all the way home on the carrier that would explain the screeching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nigethomas Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hi peejay/Roger It looks that way.I've been off work today so pulled the box out again.ive removed the clutch and it looks OK still so that can go back in.all I need to know really now is what set up i need to do regards to the carrier.it looks like I need a new one again.I do still have the steel one which was fitted previous minus the pin.would this be ok if I just fitted a new pin to it and fit new bearing?

RogerH Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hi Nige, the steel carriers don't really wear out. The new Bronze ones are very poor - the material is too soft. Fit the bearing to the steel carrier - grease/no grease who knows. I have greased my carrier as suggested on this forum. The anti-rotation pin may be handy. If the carrier spins is will generate heat. I have my box back in now. The pedal action feels good. I have refitted the slave return spring to see if this will help. It has increased the pedal pressure slightly. Fingers crossed. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nigethomas Posted August 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hi Roger Glad uve got box back in and hopefully all sorted.tomorrow I will order a new bearing and a roll pin.I looked at my old steel carrier tonight which was from moss and noticed the hole hasn't been drilled through to outer edge.sure will have fun drilling that as metal is quite thick on flange and very small diameter hole.anyway thanks for your help on this.will let you know when box is back in and tested Cheers Nige Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Put a smear of copaslip on the sliding parts. It'll be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hi Nige, my Moss roll pin would not go into the carrier. In the end I used a drill to open it out slightly and then used the.shank of the drill as the pin. I wonder when it will break off. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nigethomas Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 just to let you know fitted gearbox back in last sunday.I used the alignment tool from moss for the clutch. Although several attempts it wouldnt go on so checked it by eye again and it was a fraction out which was enough for the gearbox not to slide home.Anyway its in now and i drove the vehicle for the first time just down the road.Only managed to get up to 3rd gear but all seems well.Felt good driving it for the first time my son sat in the back as well and he loved it.Anyway thanks for all the advice on this.Now its time to crack on with all the electrics.
