Gearbox clonk on mine turned out to be a broken gearbox mounting.

No crack is a perfect straight line like that... what happens when you get some else to operate the clutch whilst you are looking with your snake eye? :wink:

Now that's a fissure..... ah it takes me back. Surprising I survived year two of a geology degree with these dirty great cracks all over my mapping area. (Not my photo I hasten to add. Mine were never as good as the lens was always covered in midges :lol: )

Yes at some points it looks very straight but its split for sure I can get my finger nail in the crack if i push hard enough. When clutch applied it Tends to very slightly flex to one side..............
