R50 200k miles 5 speed Midland

Replaced clutch and turned the flywheel as well as replaced the bushing on the linkage that faces down with an aftermarket hard plastic piece.

With the car off it goes into all the gears fine. But with the car on and clutch pedal down putting the car into any gear is difficult and when it goes into gear the wheels spin intermiintermittently.

The slave cylinder seemed fine, but I didn't try to slide back the boot because I thought that would damage it.

The shift cable with the aftermarket bushing looks very rusted near where is clips into the cable bracket.

The flywheel was resurfaced but only the inside. There machinist said he didn't take enough off to warrant turning the outside. .008


I think I'll just replace the shift cables and hope that takes care of that.
