   How many of you have ever just changed the CRB and not the clutch and what problems did you have afterwards if any?

   Would be silly not to change the clutch when the gearbox is off imo.

   +1 why go through the hassle of getting the box off and not change the clutch at the same time, would save money in the long run

   the cost of a bearing on its own is around £25. Cost of a full clutch kit with bearing around £50. Do the lot in one go whilst the box is off
