Hey Glider, thanks for your response. Of course, the usual 'clunk' is a familiar sound for me.. It seems I did find the solution but not the real problem.. I adjusted the clutch in a very critical way with no play at all and the clutch comes free without heavy clunk-sound. And it seems it shifts like before. I will take it for a ride and hopefully it won't slip when the engine is warm Maybe a worn cable or something to find outAnyway, thanks for your advise Glider
