clutch fork pin has already been removed. the issue I'm having is the "pin" that is towards the centre of the image. the "pin" seems as though it has flattened on the visible side, which is why the box cannot be removed. it moves about 1mm off the block on the passenger end, and about 10mm off from the driver side. so I'm assuming the issue is there. the shaft for the clutch etc has all been removed with an M6 bolt.
