Forgot to mention, don't worry about the plastic staple, it does it's job in holding the release bearing off the pressure plate. That's all it does but it is a necessary part - nothing to worry about.

Its not the mounting of the post that was the problem but the ball end of the pivot. The retaining of the ball end of the joint by the spring steel clip is not the most best set up.Quote:

Thanks for your advice Bearman. Your expertise in these gearboxes is one of the most valuable resources of this forum.
What Loctite product would you recommend? My research would make me think Loctite 660.Quote:

The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close-fitting metal surfaces and prevents loosening and leakage due to shock and vibration. This product exhibits excellent gap cure characteristics and is also suitable for retaining shims.
Your benefits

That will be fine by the spec sheet. I just use 609 which I have a supply of for things like the distance sleeve on the mainshaft and the reverse idler shaft. Liberally coat the inside of the extension sleeve after you have cleaned it up and preferably prime it before you apply the loctite, then tap it home and leave it for a while
Everything is now back together and running well. No nasty noises. It seems that that movement between the extension sleeve and front cover was the cause of the problem.
Well done!
wooooo woooo !! something is wrong!! ..... ohhh the engine is not running and its stationary......Quote:
