Hi, this is my first post here so hello everyone!!!
Basically I bought myself a micra a year ago as a first car as they are cheap to run and insure and lovely and simple to work on. It had only done 53k when I got it and I've since done 12k trouble free miles until the other day when my clutch release bearing gave in. I set about changing this and did the clutch while I was there. I completed this in 6 hours which I was chuffed with until I remembered I hadn't put the clips on, the new clutch kit didn't have them and the old ones got a little mangled in there so i forgot about them. I've driven 3 days on it and one day i was stuck in stop start traffic for 2 hours and I've had no issues. However do these clips stop the bearing rotating on the shaft thus causing the fork to miss the lugs and having no clutch or is the bearing un-able to turn and ill be okay? I've tried looking this up with no luck so posted here, hopefully someone will have an answer and one that saves me some hassle haha.
manyy thanks, Caleb.
