Changing the clutch, anything else now I'm there?

[warp9.9]

ok watched the video a few times (beer involved) seen old style detent wheel , which means non updated silver motor. so I stand by the bolt coming loose since it has happened a bucket load of times thru out the life of the silver paint job. some have been lucky with theirs. more have not been. good thing is is is fixable and with luck if you remove the sump pan first for a look see you will think I am not just a smart Polock but a god of what can be destructive in a rocket. either way I hope yours is the less expensive way. oh and If Nev comes on and gives advice you are better off listening to him. Even if he just gives a hint its not for no reason!!!!!

I tell you what bud you drop the sump pan anyway first and if you do not find anything that should not be there I will gladly send you the cash for the gasket plus a six pack for your troubles. Now if you find something well then we will have a better idea of whats ahead at about 12 bucks cost plus you get to clean your sump screens and view what is in them.

Haha, sounds like there is no way around it

Ok ok , you convinced me, I'll drop the oil pan then.
Only problem is, I live in Denmark, and no dealers have Rocket parts on the shelf. Usually 5-7 days delivery on ANY part.
So the longer I am to find out the parts I'm gonna change, the longer I have to wait for the darn parts.
But I'll see if I can't get it done during the day, hopefully have a full parts list before tomorrow, and If I'm lucky, I'll have the parts before next weekend.

Thank you for your help

When releasing the sump try to keep the gasket in one piece, if successful you could use it again (Not highly recommended but it will most likely work) - reinstall with NO sealant tho - maybe a smear of grease both sides of the old gasket. That's what my Dad taught us to do and he was a mechanic.
