I've recently rebuild my lsd, and in order to do so obviously had to take the gearbox off. Big thanks to Welly for that very informative FAQ btw!

During assembly I may have come across a problem, my clutch lever doesn't seem to return to where it should and I'm afraid I need to take the gearbox off again to fix it.

If I understand correctly, when the clutch pedal is pressed the clutch lever rotates clockwise when standing in front of the car looking down onto it. At the moment my clutch lever is touching the bracket which the clutch cable is mounted solidly to, removing any possibility for the lever to move this way. Trying to force it backwards doesn't work either, as this would require more force than what seems sensible to apply.

I don't know if the attached picture will work, but it shows the lever pivot with the pin pushed through it for orientation. I would very much appreciate if someone with the knowledge could tell me either whether I'll have to realign my clutch and gearbox, or if it is a case of just using brute force.

Thanks!

sounds like the clutch forks have not gone in behind the bearing, you will need to remove the arm off the top and pull the gearbox away from the engine and align the forks so that they slide behind the bearing as you push the box back on.

As above, from the picture the fork has not gone behind the bearing in the pressure plate, the only way to sort this is remove the box and get the fork to go behind the bearing.

Dont worry i have done this mistake one or two times.

I did this when too when I changed my clutch - luckily I realised before putting too much back in.

Broke my release bearing on the first attempt by getting the clutch fork in wrong Doh

Take it back off and ensure it slids up fully before putting any bolts back in - then test it gently with two or three bolts in
