[QUOTE="Seamus1982, post: 622930, member: 14071"] Evening, Update: Does the early bay CA code gearbox require the release bearing guide sleeve? If not, would having this sleeve on cause the clutch/flywheel to seize once releasing the clutch? I swapped out my gearbox as it was knocking. I bought a second hand one to put in while mine is off being rebuilt. Gearbox turned freely and seemed fine when I fitted it. Anyway, refitted everything, started her up with clutch in and all fine. Released the clutch and heard a funny whine and she cut out and wouldn’t even turnover when I tried to restart. Followed all the guidelines in the manuals etc. BUT the replacement box had the bearing sleeve. I’m thinking when I released the clutch, it or the flywheel have come into contact with the sleeve and jammed, causing the engine to cut out and now not turn over. What are the thoughts on this?
