Are you sure its the clutch and not the linkage ?

Mine has same problem and was told its common fault

to be honest chap i am not entirely sure? i was traveling approx 150 miles per day to and from work and it started to deteriorate ie crunch into gears untill now being stuck at my work

the clutch wasnt slipping or any thing but selects evey gear nice when engine is off?

any 1?

or is it just a case of no adjustment! replace the clutch etc?
just wanted it home to change the clutch instead of having to do it at the works car park

cheers
