No return spring is fitted.

A possibility. I tried to bleed it by myself, then with the help of my
wife. So there has been a good volume of fluid pumped through by now.
Bleed nipple is at the top of the slave cyl. I don't have access to a
'power bleeder' so it's all been done at atmospheric pressure..

Another possibility. Although there were two of us reinstalling the
'box. It took us two goes to get the input shaft into the spigot bush.
Lots of wriggling about with the gearbox held over our heads (working in
a pit). However we did support the gearbox the whole time. There is no
shuddering or uneven take-up of the clutch, or vibration at high speed
to indicate anything out of alignment.
Thanks for the advice Jarrid.
Cheers,
Paul.
