Guys,
Gerry and his sidekick Robin showed up tonight to determine what ailed the clutch function. When the engine was separated from the transmission Gerry was dumbfounded to find the clutch release bearing and retainer installed back to front by some nameless neophyte (myself). Gerry was quite surprised that the clutch functioned at all.
Fortunately the damage was limited to the release bearing and retainer. After a new bearing and retainer were installed, the engine remounted, a rear wheel was raised in the air and the clutch function was dry tested and now appears to function as advertised.
Now to reassemble the rest of the Lynx and wait on Gerry to live test all the functions before I take a victory lap.
Peter
