My engine seized earlier this year and I was gutted, got a new engine and clutch to put on while I was there, I changed it all over got the car started but the clutch felt very tight.. Then I realised it would not select gear? I was doin this for classic ford and after all my efforts I lost intrest when I had to drive a van to the pod... Not happy, went back to the car at the weekend for the first time and started again, I took the box off the clutch looks fine so I put a different box on cos mine wined a bit and the clutch still feels stiff but not half as bad as it did? Iv been told there should be a bit of play on the cable at the box but there is not? Any ideas? Did eBay send me the wrong clutch?
