Cluth Fork etc.

Yes, the pushrod can fall out if the clip is broken if you're not careful when pulling out the slave cylinder but usually the fork wears where it pivots on the ball and you will need the fork (FTC2957), the release bearing (FRC9568 or FTC5200), the pads on the other end of the arm (FRC5255 x 2) and if you want a new clip it is (FRC3327) and all the lot is probably less than £35. If you remove the slave cylinder you will be able to see the arm (fork) pushed back right against the bellhousing. These forks wear fairly quickly and you will need to replace the fork etc. every time you split the engine and box for a clutch. If you get someone else to do this job make sure they put all these parts in and a clutch as well if it needs it which it most likely will, it should only take a couple of hours or so.

Thanks, had a look, and yes it has worn as you said, have gone out and bought all the bits you said, plus the casting with the pivot ball on it. I thought the clutch was on its last legs anyway, so that will be replaced also.

I think you can get a Delphi full clutch kit including the release bearing for less than £80 and put some graphite grease on the pivot ball unless you have something better, same in the spigot bush.
