I didn't take notice when stripping it over a year ago, have a workshop manual and spare engine but these are both no help. The clutch pressure plate etc is on, it has a square plate with 4 holes for the bolts and springs underneath (this isn't the issue). I can't work out where the spring and release bearing go. I've tried several ways round with componenets and every time I fit the outer cover it doesn't go all the way down flush with the case without fouling. Like some part is holding the cover up.
This doesn't have the normal pressure plate that bolts on from the front that covers the whole plates etc. This one looks to use the bolts and plate to hold the cutch components off the clutch basket. The manual isn't helping me at all as it keeps showing pictures of the xr400 which is different. Please help I was hoping to get the engine in the frame today. (engine is still on the workbench
