As indicated some time ago I think the clutch is going. Will have to do something about it before Harptree.
Googled CJ7 clutch kits but then different diametres and other techy stuff throws me off.
Old iron specialists : What do I order and where ?
Cheers.

Only thing is that Morris 4x4 has 10.50" kits and 11" kits. Anybody know the difference ?
$154 bucks = £ 100 Sterling.

And dont forget to mend that leaky crank seal whilst you are in there :icon_winkle:

Ok, just had a nice web-chat with one of the guys at Morris 4x4. Its a 10.5".
Will be ordering : Master Clutch kit, crank seal, oil pan gasket and a temp. sensor.
One of my skippers lives in Florida and happens to be on leave, coming back next weekend. :icon_super:
Question : the kit has no clutch-tool (you know the alignment whatchamacallit)..... chappy in US says I need to rent one. saw a guy on youtube with a plastic gizmo :017:

don't waste your time with the plastic crap, mine shattered first time, got a cheap metal one like this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clutch-Alignment-Aligning-Tool-Set-Universal-All-Metal-17pc-Neilsen-/261189631727?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3cd01d7eef) from ebay and has served me well for years, only a few quid more than the plastic crap too

BD where are you :hysterical:

I used to have a phillips screwdriver that was a perfect fit in a 1/2" square drive, meant I could use sockets to make an alignment tool.
Worth a bash to see if you could do something similar.

Always done them by eye must be up to over a 1000 by now
