ParticipantWell, the gearbox is out from underneath, a bit of a struggle, but not too bad.
The cause of the grabbing was two fold. The lining of the driven plate looked strange and was very shiny, but not down to the rivets, plus the centre of the plate was very loose and rattled, which is what was causing a knocking noise from near the bell housing.
It is all back together now and the clutch is working perfectly, which is a great relief.
Now for the oil leaks…

ParticipantBruce – Did you just replace the clutch plate, or the complete clutch assembly?
Cheers – Clive.

ParticipantThank you for your reply. After reading it, I removed the rubber gearbox cover and the sound insulation on the bulkhead and cut a slice out of the panel to expose the core plug.
It also had some epoxy on it which I removed, only to find the core plug was in excellent condition and shiny. So perhaps the engine had a small coolant leak from the rear of the cylinder head and was mistaken for the plug.
Anyway, looking on the bright side, I now have at least partial access to the core plug!

ParticipantHello Andrew, Thank you for your reply. I wonder if the Pick Up is lighter on the back end than the Devon saloon.
I gather otherwise you are happy with them. I see on e-Bay they are being sold for £60.50 each, inc. P&P., so very reasonably priced.

ParticipantThank you Mike for your reply, It is my intention to take the gearbox out, leaving the engine in situ. Can be done according to the Workshop Manual, if the gearbox covers are removed first. Think I will wait until the weather warms up though.

ParticipantThank you for your reply Bruce. I was worried that might be the case. Not looking forward to doing it.
