Just spent longer than I imagined possible getting the gear box in. Took a lot of heaving, kicking, wiggling, swearing, lifting, lowering etc.

For some reason I've got it into my head the clutch fork and release bearing might have got miss aligned given how much of an effort it was to get in. Fitted that little plastic clip obviously.

The biting point is now very close to the floor, obviously the clutch always need adjusting after a new clutch (and pressure plate and pivot and release bearing).

Clutch seems to engage and disengage fine.

If the clip had come out and the fork and release bearing had got misaligned out of the designated groove, would that be obvious when engaging and disengaging the clutch

Am i going mad?

Let the fluid and air settle overnight, and bleed it again in the morning.

And make sure any adjusters in the pedal and slave cylinders are adjusted.
 
Can not see how bearing can go out of line and the fork is held in by its clip to the pivot point.

I probably didn't explain that very well. The fork has those two silver ovals that sit in the two groves on the release bearing, whilst assembling all held together by that plastic clip. My bizarre worry is the plastic clip has come out, the bearing separated from fork, then rotated a bit so the fork then presses on the bearing outwith those two groves.

I didn't disconnect any of the hydraulics so shouldn't be any air. Just pulled the slave out of the bell housing and tied it up. Will adjust on the master.
