how to change a clutch....?

(1/3) > >>

Matt_H:
well, having been told it was a pretty easy job I had a go with my friend Ian.. two days later and she's back together - the pic below was taken after part reassembly.

The old release bearing was a solidified molten mass of metal and plastic, the slave cylinder rubber boot was no where to be found.. two trips to the local motor factor (one for the clutch - the bearing failed on the way home from buying the new clutch!) and one for a new slave cylinder.

All in £130 or thereabouts, changed gearbox oils whilst they were off.

I've no idea how much a commerical place charges but, I'd be tempted to use them... saying that the only problems we had really (apart from puzzlnig on how to remove the bell housing from the engine when it was 'glued' on with some kind of silicone sealant) was just about every screw and bolt holding the floor in place was rusted solid.

Hmmm, I think that's one of those jobs I'd leave to the 'professionals' me finks!!

Well done :)

Not one of the jobs I am looking forward to tho.....

Matt_H:
once you've worked out a couple of 'puzzles' it's a pretty easy job, just heavy, a second large hi-lift trolley jack would be very helpful.

Come to thnk of it I'm sure the landrover manual hasa plan for a transmission jack 'cage'

Got to do Ian's in the next few weeks so I may weld one up :-)

After removing the engine and box from a disco though I wouldn't attempt that myself - I just can't ee how you remove the bell using top bolts (I cut a hole in the floor in my disco!!!)
