Mike&#8217;s answer was that it maybe the clutch fork is loose on the shaft and Mike was right, well nearly it was the lever that rotates the shaft. Why didn&#8217;t I think of that? This would have been a lot easier to fix with the clutch out but at least I now know what I will be doing for the next few afternoons.<\/p>\n<p>On another note the gear stick seemed to be sitting further forward than usual &#8230; It&#8217;s cracked.
