1991 BX clutch

[De Winton]

I have recently fitted a complete clutch in my car afer fitting amd checking everything lined up i depressed the clutch pedal i heard little snappping sound ,whem i looked at the metal bar that pushes the fork that pushes the release bearing it was out ot alinement ,Thios was the problem with the previous clutch and was badly juddering nowthe new clutch is doing the same my mechanic thinks its the wrong fork the clutch kit we got we could not use the thrust bearing because the fixing carrage was not long enough so we used theold thrust bearing which was ok ,
to be honest the clutch we took out looked almost new ,so we dontknow if the fork wrong all i know my cnnecting rod is at an angle and my bran new clutch is juddering has any one got any idea what my problem would be very gratefull if someone cant help many thank Graham

Hi Graham, did you get to the bottom of your issue? I think I have the same problem. There is a plastic bush on the clutch fork itself which locates into a pin on the gearbox casing. My fork lever has quite a bit of play in it and someone has wedged a piece of plastic between the top of the fork lever and the gearbox casing to take up this movement. Sadly the box will have to come out to rectify this I believe.
