Now it was time to rebuild the clutch before closing the transmission side up.
I added the new spring in line, and afterwards the clutch basket.
The plates had been soaked in gearbox oil for a couple of days. I also did have acces to the clutch spring holding tool. Made things easier.
My engine had the old clutch basket with a spline that fits into the gear cluster and uses a thimble to compress.
Finally I did all the nuts up and I am ready to move on to the rear brake section.
