Help - Clutch problem :(
spy:
Me and a mate took the box out for a series 3 one. Getting the floor out was the slowest bit. If its engine out, its gotta be a TDI going back in dont you think?
Bloody thing, ive used it offroad once and I am stuck with this nitemare...
Range Rover Blues:
Check botht he master and slave cylinders, biting point on the floor suggests air in the cylinder or clutch fork damage.
spy:
Yeah, thats what I thought but its odd. Fluid level on the max line. No leaks. Also, it now feels completely normal apart from the fact that it is in the very early stages of slipping. I work in a garage and am used to driving cars with problems. It slips only in 5th at the mo, although wants to slip when you change gear. It really does feel just like a warn clutch. I checked the slave cylinder, a mate suggested the rod may be out of place on the piston, all seems dry and fine.
Reckon its a clutch, even though I cant explain the other issue. I bought a new clutch and fork today, gonna give it a shot on sunday....
Range Rover Blues:
If the master leaks it goes down the carpet, but then like you say a slipping clutch is easy to detect, maybe you'll find the answer once you get it apart but whilst you are there a new clutch is a no-brainer anyway.
spy:
well the clutch was seriously warn out. Still no idea about the other problem though! Suppose I will just have to wait and see if it happens again. I am suprised how well it was still driving really considering just how warn it was.
