6.4 Clutch
Five-speed transmission
Removal
10 Remove the transmission as described in
Chapter 7. Removal and checking procedures
for the release bearing are the same as for the
four-speed transmission, as described in the
previous sub-Section.
11 Extract the circlips securing the release
lever to the release shaft, then withdraw the
shaft from its bushes and the release lever
(see illustration). Note that there is a master
spline on the shaft and lever allowing fitment
in only one position.
Inspection
12 Check the bushes and bearing surfaces of
the shaft for wear, and also check the release
bearing guide sleeve for scoring. The bushes
may be removed using a drift, and new
bushes fitted in a similar fashion. Fit the
bushes so that the oil seal will be flush with
the housing when in position.
Refitting
13 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but
lubricate all bearing surfaces with a highmelting-point
grease.
