thanks deno, much appriciated! ill try out the pin first before taking teh box off again, if i get stuck ill give you a bell!.

having driven about tonight it seemes to bea little better in the cooler air ? but the bite is still kinda non existant (at the floor basically) and its a heavy bastard to hold to the floor lol on the plus side i jsut installed my aem wideband and going from td04 to vf28 thge fuling is still spoton as it was mapped pretty saftly on the td04. clutch issue needs to be sorted so i can map it on teh emanage :D updates shortly

Finks, that seem to be alot of effort lol, i usual jsut attached a small clear hose to teh slave nipple then pump teh clutch untill the clear hose has fluid in, then tighen it all up before removing teh hose, seems to have worked well in the past.

But i seem to have half solved the problem now haha, i took the pin out the slave and put in a 0.5mm washer and now i seem to be able to go through the gears ok but still a little stiff, going to try another full bleed and fluid replace and maybe a bigger washer, but the biting point is now at a reasanable level.

trying to setup my suspesion now but im doing it via trial and error. sofar theres alot of error haha

big thanks to D3no for the tips ;)

Your welcome dude, glad it worked out for you. it took be alot of messing about to get to that conclusion. i even angle-ground some of the spline main shaft off the gearbox, trying to figure out the problem. took the gerbox off 9 times. ;)

9 times lol i had it off twice before i managed to get it into a gear and that was anoying enough. jsut been for another drive and seems OKish but i think another spacer maybe in order as accelarating though gears is a little harsh but now do,able.

cant wait to take it down the 1.4mile next weekend :D

the washer eventualy got crushed lol i ended up making a new pin out of a threaded rod, i cut it to my requird lenght, ( i started off about 175% of the stock pin and then keps trimming bits off untill i got my requird size whiched endid up being about 50% longer than the stock pin! but being a threaded rod i just filled off the thread part atthe ends so it dosnt catch on anything and its been great ever scince! :)
