Hi Bob

Thank you for the info about pilot bearing.

Seems to be that the problem right now, is that slavecylinder extends fully - but clutch still doesnt dis-enagege. I find it quite weird - my bet guess now is to find another gearbox, and try to switch it around - and hope for the very best.

Any ideas?

Best regards

Jens Jakob
