ive got a clutch system for sale if you need one

So the bottles half full with fluid.

How am i going to put it back together without getting air into the system?

You aren't going to be able to put it together without getting air in it, you will need to attempt to bleed it after re assembly, as I said the job is a pita.

As you still have fluid in the master cylinder I would fill the slave with enough fluid to refit the piston and rod without needing to compress the fluid, then operate the piston by hand to dislodge the air, any air should end up escaping from the system via the master cylinder.

Got the gearbox this evening.

Bloody hard work getting just under 40 kg to sit proper by myself.

Am i total bell end or is the wrong gearbox? Various holes lead to nothing as seen in the pictures and also doesnt look like it matches up.

Now - I'm far from a guru, but, didn't your engine come from a 75 ? Don't they use a getrag gearbox ? Are they different ?
