Fingers crossed and good luck. There is no need to drop all the oil out of the engine, and make sure you have a replacement clutch cover gasket to
re-fit as the old one may not be reuseable. Changing the springs themselves is quite straightforward, just make sure you tighten them evenly and to
the required torque.

I did changed them!!!!
But the clutch is still slipping...
The friction plates are fine, the barnett spring fitted correctly, I dont understand what is happening.
Slips when cold and in low revs then working fine. I dont know what else to do.
(I used motorbike oil ofcourse.)

Just out of curiosity, how do you know the frictions are OK?

I didn't measure them but they were looked alright to me. I did not take them out of the "basket" but from the prespective I had
they were looking fine.
The clutch cable was looked a bit tired. Tomorrow I will try to adjust the cable (tighted it up).
That means I wont be able to come to MK tomorrow. Can you do it another day? Thusday for example??

I doubt very much that you'd be able to notice wear on your friction plates by eye. The difference between a new plate and a worn plate is only
approx 0.4mm.
First thing to check would be the clutch cable. Ensure that it is free/slack when at rest. Then take the car out for a spin and whilst travelling
slowly, put it into 4th or 5th gear and floor the throttle. If you have a slipping clutch, this will be when it is most noticeable.
If your clutch does slip, you'll need to change the clutch friction plates at least. Whilst you're doing this, check your steels for any
signs of warpage and blueing.
If you can get that done before Wednesday , there is a meeting at Ackworth. If you can get there, we and a few others will be able to take a look at
your Indy.  Good luck.

If it only slips when cold - it may be the wrong grade of oil or it's overfull!

Must be the friction plates cause I used the right oil (I change it myself for my own piece of mind)
10W-40 motorbike oil to the right level.
I wont be able t ocome on Wensday either cause I am waiting for my results from the Uni on the 13th and then I am off to Greece.
Thanks again for all the help Phil ( and all the rest!)
Really APPRECIATED!!!!
You are the best!!
