Clutch/Gearbox Woes
Rangie3.0LtrDan:
It was done in a garage but its made no difference. With any gear you have to near on put your foot through the bulkhead to change it. Also you cant change gear at high revs, cos it wont engage properly cos i dont think the clutch is going far enough, i am thinking there is possibly more than one clutch master cylinder.
Am going to take it tomorrow to me local stealer and see what they say, cos the head mechanic is [!Expletive Deleted!] hot on older discoverys.
tyredfitter:
did you find out the reason for the poor, pedal just had the same problem only had half a clutch pedal after replacing the clutch.fork,pivot,slave cylinder,and it yes was a pain to bleed..drove it for 200 miles then the pedal went to the floor and stayed there.took the slave cylinder off and the fork is doing nothing need to strip it out at the weekend oh joy!!!!
Discotel:
Hi mate, have you checked the slave cylinder yet.....!!!!!...I had to bleed my one for about 30mins before I got my clutch back...If it is ok after bleeding the slave cylindet then chances are you have a leak in the rubber seal and the oil is sitting in the bottom of the bell housing...!
If this is the case remove the drain plug and let it out, a new slave cylinder is about £20 and not to bad to fit..
Hope it is this buddy.

hi i thought it was that but it was a new slave cylinder i put in and its not lost any fluid and its not leaking from under the seal.when i took it off after losing the pedal i could pushed the fork in and theres no resistance, so something has fell off or broke,cant bleed it any more until i find out what has happened inside the bellhousing...

Discotel:
Yeah I could do that with mine to, must have to go in a bit further though, you cant get in there to far with your finger (oh er missus)...I checked and re checked to make sure the little plunger arm was lined up with the fork and fitted it, bled it and it worked..there is a little clip that goes on the plunger arm on to the fork, has this gone missing...
P.S...I was actually talking to the other guy but hope I can help you aswell matey.
