    Default VP T5 wtf

    ok heading down to the local shops last night went from 2nd to 3rd and it would go in and the clutch pedal felt kind of doughy and can't select any gear, anyhow got it home with some in gear starting and used my truck driving skills to float it threw the gears to get it home.

    i have the box out and the fork, thrust bearing and the fingers on the pressure plate all look good. i thought it might of been broken fingers or a bent for becuase of the heavy duty clutch thats in it but all are ok.


    is it possible that i have bent the clutch pedal?
