Clutch difficulties.

On the G's first outing I experienced some problems with the clutch and gear changes. At times changing gear was like pushing the gear stick into a rubber wall. The clutch was making a strange sound when disengaging.
I have cured the gear selecting problem by changing the 2 rubber blocks on the selector arm to gearbox for smaller ones. These are smaller in height and stiffer so gear changes are more precise.

As for the clutch noise I think that might be coming from the spigot shaft bush in the flywheel. If it does not quieten down it will mean an engine out repair.

Showing the different heights on the selector blocks.
I believe the taller one is for an R12.
