Time I stopped trying to avoid pulling the tranny then - I note that the fork has been mentioned as possible cause. What failure modes do these have? Steve. www.slowmx5.com

Wish I hadn't. Got half way there and the clutch would not disengage properly. Couldn't get in or or out of gear. Nearly got squashed at a set of lights by a lorry - not a good. Whatever the problem is it is getting worse. What I did find out though was that the clutch was dragging at times when it was like this - with the peddle fully down, so the engagement point had dropped. Pumping the peddle made no difference - just seems that it randomly does not disengage, which makes me think it isn't hydraulics given the checks I have made on the free play and that I have replaced the master and slave cylinders. I'll adjust the peddle height again tomorrow, but I'm not hopeful and am stumped as to what could be causing these odd symptons.
