Problem after problem, now clutch or gearbox? Now fixed!

Dr Neil:
To make life easier have you got a ratchet strap that you can loop over the chassis and attatch to the out riggers,and under the bellhousing.That way not only can you ratchet the front end up but should the worst happen and it slips off the trolley jack it won't land on you or the floor.If not borrow another trolley jack for the front.

Having said that it is not the kind of job i'd recommend doing on your own,as they are very heavy.

I only dared tackle it after reading Les hensons thread on how to do it on lr4x4, he makes it sound so easy. But then again I'm sure that experience has got something to do with it!!! Before having the disco I'd only ever changed brake pads and other fairly simple jobs. Maybe that's what is meant by 'the land rover experience'!!

All back together now (apart from the interior) and its all good, apart from the pedal! Press the pedal to the floor and thats where it stays! I've bled the hydraulics but that has made no difference. I wish I'd checked the selector fork a bit more thoughly now! Is that likely to be the problem? Somehow I don't think I'll be going to Billng now :'(

I'd have gone with Dr Neil, sounds like the "Fork" isn't with you...., looks like it's all got to come out again. Lesson to be learnt, for the few quid that the parts inside the bell housing cost, change them all, everytime.....

Sharpshooter:
This is what happened to my mates one. If you look. You can see where the arms have parted.
The falcrum that normally wears was ok. This was not a genuine part. The clutch had been in for only 18 months. I bought a genuine one when i did mine. It was £20 with the small plastic clips.
