Checked the clutch on the spline from Clive and the no of teeth is right. Struggled getting the rear end off. Didn\'t realise I had to twist the case off from the selector pickup.

I\'ll Need to check the propshaft as well when I Pull it off so hopefully it will all work out ok.

The other question I have is which way round does the stock clutch fit ? Pickup Boss is taller on the one side !

Well just had a couple of snags to finish this morning and I\'ve just been out in the car. Seeing a nice reduced rpm at speed and the car is now much quieter, my old box may not have been all that well !

I found my clutch wasn\'t completely toast, was about 1mm above the rivets. Changed it anyway for the discounted one I bought of Clive I think my slave has a slight weep so that will be getting fixed in the near future too !

One thing that does worry me is I seem to have lost one of the engine to bell housing bolts ! I\'ve left one out of the top so will get a replacement quick. Car still seems ok to drive though.

I\'m also wondering if I have a S5 EGi gearbox because I don\'t have the LH vent (above the starter). It all fit fine so not too worried about it !

Found my clutch slave rebuild kit I\'d lost (found it in my jacket :Giggle ) . Just need the bolt now.
