Subject: Re: LG6 Clutch
Thank you Laurence for your reply.
No choice words on finding the starter motor pinion on the floor, just surprise... Wink. I hadn't planned on removing it until it happened, so it wasn't my hamfistedness that caused it (this time...).

Thanks for your advice on removing the cardan shaft. I was hoping not to move the gearbox to avoid the risk of misalignment - I read another thread describing how to re-align and I don't really want to go through that. Also, wouldn't that involve disconnecting the prop shaft off the rear of the gearbox? Can you gain that inch just by removing the flexible couplings, or is there something that goes through their centre that means you can't slide them out after all the bolts are removed?

Thanks for the description of the removal of the gear selector, I feel more at ease about that now. I'll also have to re-consult the manual I have for adjusting the clutch before I take the drastic measure of removing the assembly.

Finally, where is the body number located? All I've found is a brass plate on the firewall which is stamped with the type (LG6.DHC), and the engine and chassis number I think (both of which are 12310). The engine is stamped with LG6/444/S4 and 12310. There are two other plaques in the door openings just above the running boards on either side which say "coachwork by Lagonda" but no numbers. Is there anywhere else I should look?

Many thanks again,
Mike
