    1.8 manual gearbox removal

    The bloke said that over time the tangs on the pressure plate were the bearing sits go hard and it could be putting pressure on the mc but i would have thought it would just bust the sc out of the bracket if it was that hard i find it strange aswell mate

    I'm in to minds now to change the clutch or drive it and see if it leaks again but then if it does it's more expense I just can't understand why the slave doesn't break instead of the master Also the gearbox looks hard to remove lol
