It went before last years Alps trip so probably only about 500 miles. It could be that something else is adrift. I will find out once I pull the engine and box out.
Hopefully this weekend.

Re: ACSMC Championship 2012
Gearbox out today , looks ok with no burrs on any rings or gear cogs . It's drained and cleaned with the top cover off , laying upside down to drip dry
I've sent off for a new gasket set for the box and hydraulic slave plus oil seals for both , new bolts all round etc. So once I've cleaned out the oil absolutely everywhere along the tunnell and all the bits are here , I can start putting it all back together again ----- what a performance aye VERY lucky though that the damage is limited , still can't believe I was driving it without noticing it not being bolted tight , I'm always checking before any event I go to
In future , another standard check's going to be --- putting a lever between box and bellhousing
NORDLOCK double grip & cam washers arriving next week

Re: ACSMC Championship 2012
We went to the funeral for Sandra Harrison - Moore today(died after Goodwood incident) and the weather was beautiful , sunny and warm with the reception mostly outside , it was so nice She could have done with a little of today's dry sunny weather at Goodwood
I didn't know her or her husband Simon but felt the need to attend , having been on that same drenched circuit that day then got away with a few quid spent on my car RIP Sandra .
