CLUTCH PROBLEMS>>>>HELP
« on: September 13, 2007, 11:02:12 »
Hi all

I hoping someone can help as i'm out of ideas

I recently had the engine out of my disco to fix some oil seals and when I put it back in I had no clutch so I did the following

1) bled the hydraulics ...no change
2) changed the slave cylinder.... no change
3) took the engine out to check the fork and bearing were in the right place....they were
4) changed the master cylinder and bled it again...slight improvment but not enough to put it in gear
5) the rubber part of the hose seems to be ok with no bulging when pressing the clutch

I have bled it using an easi bleed kit and by the 2 man method

so any more ideas as i'm all out

Ta

Did you remove the clutch plate and cover when you did the oil seals...?????? if you did, you may have put the plate back in round tha wrong way!!
gone from 200tdi.... to 300tdi... still with loads done to it, in fact, even more than the last truck...LOL!!!

Clamp the flexi pipe and try the pedal. If it's solid, then the master is fine. Common mistakes are putting the slave on upside down (the bleed nipple has to be at the highest point. If you had put the plate on the wrong way round you would have [!Expletive Deleted!] it as soon as you tightened the cover bolts. You would have a decent pedal, but the clutch wouldn't work and you would instantly know you have got something wrong.

cheeers guys

yup i've been there with the slave before, and the more i think about it the more I think I may have put the friction plate in the wrong way round (didn't think to check that when I took the end out to check the fork) so I guess the engine will be coming out AGAIN this w/e and if this is the case i will be seriously kickin myself

If you have put the plate on the wrong way round, then you have either damaged it or weakened it significantly, so I'd suggest you replace it with a new one.
