Clutch
There
are various options here, depending on what type of gearbox you have.
If you
have a Series 2A box, then I think its best to use a 2A 9½" clutch unit
with centre boss for the 2A actuation mechanism.
For the Series 3 box, the Series 3 clutch or a Sherpa van
clutch unit can be used. These have a different actuation method and the
diaphragm springs do not have the central boss. Either way a new clutch unit
would be the best approach, rather than fit a part worn one of unknown mileage.
Note that with the 2A system, the setting of the cross shaft actuation arm and
wear in its bearings should be looked at, replace if worn. It is very possible
that the push rod from the clutch slave cylinder will need to be lengthened
using the adjuster, to effect proper clutch release.
I have no experience of
the Series 3 situation regarding this.
Fit the gearbox mounting studs, make
sure they all fit fully into position. Note that it helps considerably to chase
the tapped holes with a suitable tap (5/16" UNC).
