My thanks to those who have replied. philthehill (great name) has provided some excellent and detailed feedback with attachments that I need to spend time going thro and checking what I’ve actually got. Thought changing gearbox would be a simple matter but it seems theres so many variations that nee...

The hole I’m referring to is the one at the opposite end of the gaiter which fits over the clutch fork and is normally round as per lin...

Hope photos help. With further research it seems these types of gaiter normally always with a round hole that fits over the fork which is the type sold by Morris parts suppliers but I also see some pictures where there is an oval hole that fits over the fork. As this is a reconditioned box I wonder...

Have adjusted clutch free play on my new traveler to correct setting and everything seems to be working ok apart from the fact that the fork gaiter ( looks new ) is pulled out of its opening at the front by full depression of the clutch pedal. Any thoughts, suggestion on how to rectify would be much...

I’ve followed standard procedure which hasn’t worked yet but some say it’s very difficult to get right. Looks to me it’s very very very difficult to get right but I’m sure we’ll get t...

Thanks for response

Took of car, screwed diaphragm in 1 hole pitch reasembled, works on bench but only 5 seconds on car again. Should I be scr...

Thanks for that info
