Sounds like your clutch isn't disengaging properly. It might be a hydraulic problem, or a bent clutch arm. That might explain why the wear on the clutch was so bad.

think i may have found the problem with my clutch....
clutch itself is fine.

i think the whole crank is moving..i.e thrust washer are shot.
end float on the crank can be measured with a tape measure!! (1/8th of a inch)

cheers terry

The 1500 engine prone to this...the 1300 not quite so...

You need to sort it pronto or irreperable damage to crank and bearing cap will result if it hasnt already.
