yes matt, just unbolt the solinoid, split the casing then remove the windings and clean everything,dont use grease as lubricant as the clutch dust will stick to it use graphite instead.
it is usually the the shaft that the gear throws out on the causes the problem.

not really, up and starting though lol

need to fetch the rack off browney and fit that, get the box reconned, remove back plate remove any shit re-fluid and fit this spare diff and prop, and no doubt something else will break in the mean time so add that unknown to the list

getting annoyed with not driving it now so if it breaks it breaks
