Hello,
I have a 1968 Mk III with a 1974 OD Tranny in it.  Recently the clutch release
arm pin fell out of the car.  This pin is on the right hand end of the clutch
release arm. The pin is just pressed in through holes in the bell housing.  I am
looking for ideas to enable me to reinstall the pin without taking the
transmission/engine out of the car.  Right now the arm is no longer lined up
with the hole and the clutch only engages about half the distance it used to.  I
was thinking of removing the starter to see if I can get a wrench on the other
end of the release fork and move it back in place and then jam the pin in.  Does
anyone else have an idea?

Thanks,
