ooooya,

Look at the pic below.


Do you see that yellow arrow? It points toward that little machined plug with a rounded off end (it has a hole or dimple on the end). That little piece is spring-loaded. Did that spring become disengaged? That is the little nub that pushes against the throw-out bearing shaft (with the button-like surface). So, if the spring hooked to it became undone, your clutch would have no tension.

Now look at the next picture.



That little piece with the flat button-like surface in my fingers(in the middle of the throw-out bearing). Well, that piece should slide in and out with total ease (with your fingers). If it doesn't, it is not aligned. Also, make sure all new bolts on that throw-out bearing are tight, and the springs are not crooked.

Also, the big gland nut that you torqued back on to 105nm. Well that nut has one flat side, and the other side has a raised ridge. The side with the raised ridge points outward (so as to accept the little shaft with the button-like surface).

It's a rather simple device. I counsel to just take a deep breath, gather your calmness, go back and approach the assembly methodically, and you'll have no problem.

"Speedmaster" is a title not a name, - and the title is not plural.
