Clutch change... while I'm there...?

[jof]

Hi All

Sorry for a pretty basic question....

Looking to have the clutch on my 450 changed next month as I've been told it's quite worn - not slipping but very high biting point on the pedal.

Not a gearbox/Clutch expert so will be sending it to Colin at TVRSSW to change. I know the mainseal needs changing as it's weeping a bit, but just wondered what other preventative work is worth doing while the mech is down there?

Any recommendations gratefully received!

I'd be doing the rear crucifix seals and the rear main oil seal whilst you're in there, save you a load of aggravation later on.

Parts probably 20-30 quid tops but worth it considering access is a nightmare

part looks like this but can no doubt be had cheaper from elsewhere

That is quite a hike in workload and cost for something that may not be leaking.
Far better to just mention it to the garage and ask them to check and advise.
