Rich,
Thanks for the info. Jarrid has given me the specs. I suspect the clutch
more than the thrust washers, as the clutch also seems 'lazy' as if the
pressure plate was weak.
I just put it down to the antique gearbox.
Cheers,
Paul.

No, it is not a difinitive test. However measuring crankshaft
end play is. These thrust washers limit the sliding or walking of the
crankshaft from end to end, It's these washers that hold the crank in
place font to back. I'm sure someone here can give the spec for crank
end play for your engine. Be aware that worn presure plate fingers, and
TO bearing can casue the drop you are seeing. I had it on mine until
the clutch, presure plate, and TO were replaced, after which there was
very little drop in RPM.
