School boy error ive done that before with my hand brake thinking why aint it working then realising my tranny box is out of gear!

Someone else might have done that. That someelse may also have put clutch in backwards.

Well done bud.

Whats even worse Jordi is that when i took the clutch plate out i even thought to myself, 'i must remember which way this goes in so i dont do what Jordi did'....!!! argh!

Quality. Live and learn bud!

Now ive calmed down it becomes funny and less frustrating!

Anywho, has anyone fitted a clutch without a clutch alignment tool before?

every time.

Bolt it up gently so you can still move it, Feel around the edges to see thats its even, have a look down the center and make sure that looks ok too. Sorted

Just noticed the irony of my SCUK rank, because if i had infact 'Engaged 4wd low' i wouldnt have pulled the whole engine back out for nothing!

I usually bodge something up, my mate did it once without a tool and it was wrecked within a few thousand miles.

Wasn't tape on a deep socket was it?

[timwilks13]

all seemed to line up ok with my fingers and a screw driver so fingers crossed ey! anyway, everything is back together and running now and with a bit of adjusting she goes forward AND BACKWARDS!

question to all su users, did you just use your accelerator cable that was in as the one in my 410 isn't long enough, if I order a 413 one will that do? thanks!

I think I might have done that once, I mainly used tape on the handle of a valve grinding tool. You used to be able to hire the proper tool from hire shops but they were usually closed when we needed the tool.
