Guys, I have a massive problem I can't even begin to fathom out!!!!

I'll set the scene...

1982 Bobtail Rangie fitted in January with 5 speed box and new clutch, is used off road and is used under water (with breathers)

Here is the problem....

leave it over night....no problem whatsoever

leave it 9 hours outside work in the sun...CLUTCH STICKS TO FLYWHEEL!!! :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:

If I fire it up at 10.00 in the morning in the sun....doesn't happen then........or at tea time

If I miss that break and fire it up mid day.....doean't happen then....or at tea time.

leave it all day, and it takes me 10 minutes of driving around with no clutch (fire up in gear and drive about for a bit without clutch!) to free it off....

Once it releases, it's fine :shock:  :(  :cry:  :oops:  :x  :evil:  :twisted:

Why it doesn't do it after being stood all weekend in the damp is totally beyond me

HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP :?

clbarclay:
Not sure whats causing it but it sounds like large dismantle/rebuild job with the engine out (not what you wanted to hear).

Either that or drive it more often.

banditman:
drive it every day Chris what's what's throwing me !
 :cry:

Garth:
Over what period of time are we talking.  Sounds like clutch plates are damp and rusting onto flywheel.

Drive about and do lots of gear changes too dry out.  Either take for a long run to do same.  (and don't forget to fit wadeing plug next time you go swimming)

banditman:
Hi Garth, period of time is that I fire it up at 7.00 in the morning and drive it to work 5 miles away.....

At 5.00pm after standing in the sun, the plate is stuck to the flywheel.

If I break up the day somehow, even just pressing the clutch pedal once...it doesn't happen....

It stands then from about 5.30 pm to 7.00 am then doesn't do it !!

 :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

And it doesn't do it if it's cloudy either, and teh last time it saw water was about three weeks ago...used every day since :cry:  :shock:  :twisted:  :evil:  :D  :shock:  :)  :(  :?
