I fitted a replacement clutch in May, but discovered the gearbox input shaft bearing had failed, which caused the box oil to contaminate the original clutch, there was less than 500ml of oil left in the box. At the time I didn't have a replacement box, and she needed the car ASAP, so I put it back together with a new clutch, expecting to need to do the job again at some point. In the interim I found a good low mileage box, which was just as well, as the gearbox had got really noisy, presumably from running low on oil previously. So I used some time off over the Christmas break to replace the clutch again, as also fit the low mileage replacement box.
She's chuffed now, as the clutch bites hard, and the gearbox is now quiet and smooth, so hopefully that's the end of that little saga, so I can move on to the next 500 issue.
