2008.05.11 Trying to put everything back

First, old clutch was inspected. It had no obvious signs of damage, however it was visible, that it had contact with oil (which is leaking from valve cover gasket), and was burned somehow. There were a lot of copper and feredo debris inside flywheel. Also pressure plate was looking suspicious. Old:New:There's visible difference of leaf spring height. So decided to use all the stuff (release shaft, bearing, etc. from apropriate type).

And the fun started. New gearbox requires different type of clutch slave cylinder. So after few hours of grinding, I came with somewhat which can be called as typ85 type clutch cylinder adapter for newer gearbox. We pulled engine back in, bleeded the clutch. And the result was soft and spongy pedal. Inspection showed, that hydraulic fluid is leaking from gearbox. That was a disaster :(. Pulled slave cylinder - it was too short, and spitted a rod under pressure :(. I hated all world and had no strengths to work further...
