And out of the car. Not sure why but the R50 has a solid mass flywheel where the R53 has a dual mass flywheel. I prefer the first and have actually converted my R53 with the Valeo kit.

Clutch out of the car, did look rather good and didn't need replacing but I'll do so "while I'm in there"

The other side looked completely shot. These rollers have just been eaten away. This a SKF bearing, I thought that was a respectable brand.

Neutral as it should be. The right ball is where the left right shifter cable goes.
