Thought i would just post up a couple of pics of the removed clutch release bearing, i think it tell me why the clutch wasn't working properly!!
The top lug has snapped! i believe that it was the original friction plate, pressure plate and release bearing as all are stamped up NISSAN and LUK. not bad to get 115,000 miles out of it!
On this pic you can see where the lug as been rubbing against the pressure plate splines and worn it down!:doh:
