Anything and everything Spitfire.

Having had unhealthy cruntching noises followed by no more clutch about a month ago, I took my gearbox out of the car, this was rapidly followed by little bits of friction plate, which I have assumed to be the problem. I therefore decided it was time for a new friction plate, which I have now fitted using a fitting tool to ensure things were lined up correctly. The rest of the job was done by putting things back in reverse order that they had come out in. I have refitted the gearbox and connected everything up only to discover I still have no clutch. I bled the hydraulics (just in case) and still have had no joy. Having read my Haynes manual, it appears there maybe things I could have missed in the reassembly phase, unfortuneatley, I don't really understand what it's on about, but see no obvious reason for what I've done not having worked and neither does my resident triumph consultant (my Dad - who has a TR2).

Has anyone got thoughts on things that I could have easily overlooked. I have come across references to an adjusting rod, but I can see no sign of one externally on the gearbox, and if memory serves, I don't think I saw one internally either.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
