    clutch stuff up

    while replacing the slave cylinder, the clip that holds the push rod onto the clutch fork has come off and the pushrod has fallen in the bellhousing.
    Any ideas or should I bite the bullet and just take it apart and put a new clutch in while I am at it? dont know when the clutch was last done and the way the slave was leaking I suspect the plates will probably have fluid on em. Any way to put that little plastic clip back on IF I could fish it out of the bellhousing along with the pushrod
    any ideas
    thanks

    use a piece of hose with a T piece cut into the end to push the clips arms apart, slide the rod into the clip and the hose then use a piece of copper pipe down the hose to hold the clip in place while you pull the hose off.

    orrrrrr,
    just put a blob of grease on the end of the push rod, this will hold it in the fork while you install the slave.

    Pressure of slave will hold it in place just fine.

    Mine did this once. Cleaned it up with brake cleaner, put a big gob of sikaflex on the end and held it in place overnight with bits of sticky tape etc. Still there and there is enough flex in the sikaflex for it to move.
