    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.

    The box is out now that's how I can see the issues with the input sleeve.

    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.

    LOCTITE 660

    Retaining Compound - high strength. Gap filling. For repair of worn-out seats, keys, splines, bearings or tapers without remachining.
    LOCTITEŽ 660 is designed for the bonding of cylindrical fitting parts, particularly where bond gaps occurs such with worn parts, without the need for remachining. 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

    • Ideal for repairing worn parts without remachining
    • Enables re-use of worn bearing seats, keys, splines or tapers
    • Suitable for retaining shims
    • P1 NSF Reg. No.: 123704

    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.

    Split the box from the engine and moved the box back and lowered it enough to work on it under the car
