Try spraying some wd40 or something similar where the clutch lever goes through the bell housing, it may save it from total failure in the short term.

I used a graphite spray on mine, and it made a noticeable improvement.

Is it normal for there to be lots of movement between the slave and bracket? It doesn't seem to be a good fit at all?!

Well strapped it up with cable ties and fixed a spring on the throttle body, put it all back together.

Still getting lots of juddering when in 1st/2nd when on the clutch, getting a smell of burning clutch too. Had a new clutch when the engine was put in so id suspect the hydraulics!!

A mate has suggested it could be oil contamination due to a seal, it was low on oil although the catch tank had a fair amount it and not emptied it that long ago, know thats working anyway
