Quoted from glang-

Paddock do oversize circlips but I dont know how to use them. What happens if they dont fit, can you fit one to one side only?

Also Matthew do you think its the circlip spinning or the cup?

Only fit them on the ones that are spinning.  I got some from Paddocks before when I got new UJ's..but they didn't seem any thicker... :(  having measured them.....

Hmmm, circlip or cup...I just presumed it was the circlip?

Anyone know what size the circlips are for a GUJ115 UJ and where to get oversized ones from?  

Whilst I replaced mine last year...one of them does seem to be spinning also :/  Sounds ok..it's just something I noticed on inspection...

Depends if you do it yourself? New UJ's required and possbily oversized circlips if the yokes have worn. Half-shafts will need to come out...

Well @ £9.49 delivered, this is exactly the same as my existing slave cylinder and has a 3/8" UNF connection. So worth it at half the price

Well, having refitted my gearbox...it all seems good with the original slave cylinder.  Not sure whats changed but all works well after a gearbox n od rebuild.

Couple of weeks delivery...but only £12.98

Although  with a feedback rating of 0.....you might be in for a sting :/

I used a smear of moly based grease in the end. Pig of a job getting that gearbox in as I have extra weight with an overdrive.  
Still...all in now. Just need to get everything reconnected and will test briefly before I attach the prop.
Thanks for the helpfull info.

Thanks.
Should I grease the spline?
Also where the release bearing carrier sits on the shaft.?

Hopefully going to put my gearbox back in tomorrow. Just wondered if the outward face of the clutch release bearing should be clean and free from grease where it touches the clutch plate?

Looking at this:

If you click on item 10..it says hose  and 3/8" UNF....hoping it'll be this

Well I bought one ....I'll let you all know when I get round to fitting it with my newly rebuilt gearbox and overdrive just back from Paul at First Motion Transmissions

Both those ebay items even have the same markings too!

Just wondering if these are compatible. They look similar and are the same 7/8" bore?
Anyone know if they are?

Half the price too!

I changed the slave cylinder before gearbox was fitted. Bought it from Paddocks and it was for a Vitesse 6, which is a 7.8" bore.

This was the old one:

I'll have  alook at it and double check the bore diameter again..if it's the larger wouldn't there be less travel? Could I use a 1" bore, have less travel and therefore no potential problem?

Just taken it off...no tell tale marks on flywheel or pressure plate? Correct orientation...so not sure what's been happening here?

But when you press the pedal it releases the force on the friction plate so if anything it should move away from the flywheel. It was in the right way round wasnt it?

Quoted from glang

Its strange that the rub marks on the springs in the pic are on the flywheel side of the friction plate as if theyve been rubbing on the flywheel and I wouldnt expect that to happen with the pedal depressed if fact just the opposite.....

Well having removed my clutch I think I've found the rumbling cause...  As I said that when I push right down I get a noise of something catching...seems it's the friction plate springs..judging by the marks as can be seen.
I guess that extra travel causes it to stick and rub?Last thing I changed was my slave cylinder..before the gearbox went back in....maybe too much travel now....

Took the clutch off and had a look at the buttomoment of the flywheel. ..as you can see. ..no oil..just a lady bird

I can only echo the other comments in favour of scrolls. They need a little care in setting up but nothing you can't tackle with ordinary tools and a little patience, and they don't wear out. Yes they can pass a wee bit of oil but in practice it's not enough to cause any problems and certainly a lot less than leaks from the other "usual suspect" places. IMO a scroll is probably the best bet.

How easy do those flywheel come off?

Mines 1964..I havea feeling it'll be a scroll.....
