Clutch problem

(1/4) > >>

j99mud:
Right not quite sure what is going on with my clutch at the moment, its a defender 90 300tdi. the cluth is reaching the biting point when the pedal is bearly off the floor. Occaionally if i pull up at lights or a junction and have it in gear and push the cluth down it wont stop ie the clutch is still engaged with the pedal fully depressed and then the car just judders untill it stalls because however hard i try i cat get it out of gear!

So what do you think the problem here could be? Clutch release bearing?
Thanks James

vtrdaz:
James - very recently had this problem myself.
The dealer thought it was the clutch slave cylinder at first - this was replaced to no avail.
Master cylinder was renewed next which cured the problem - so it sounds like it may be your master cylinder.
Can you see any leaks anywhere?

Hope this helps mate

j99mud:
hmm sorry forgot to mention the master cylinder is new and the slave cylinder is absolutley full and there are no obvious leaks. it is blooming annoying though
Regards James

vtrdaz:
have you tried bleeding the system? might be worth a go

j99mud:
no, it might be woth a try. But why would it just start doing it? seems strange, good old landies eh
