Thanks Dick.

Something I meant to mention. My FTE slave cylinder has a plastic socket which appears longer than the metal OEM type.

I will check all parts concerned though and appreciate the direction toward that socket. My worst fear is that damage has occurred at collar on clutch housing where the slave bracket fits over.

Neil.
