Hi All


Got my fist MAJOR problem, had to happen sooner or later lol.

2000 Discovery 2 TD5 Manual

Went to a pay and play day at Pea Farm Today..anyone there?

Anyway My brother got his trooper stuck and i tried to pull him out, couldn't budge it and my clutch was stinking so had to give up.  I tried to put the car in reverse to get out of the way so someone else could have a go But i had a hell of a job to get it in gear, had to drive forward a bit, even getting it into first gear was a bit of a struggle but it eventually went into gear.  As the day went on the clutch started to slip so badly i needed a tow into the car park.


I let the car cool down and when it was time to set off home i could not get it into gear, clutch pedal didnt seem to be doing anything, If i turned the engine off and put it on gear with the handbrake off and started the engine on a rolling start there was drive in first gear that lasted a short while and there was a sort of clung and we had no drive again.  Hope that makes sense Basically is this just because the clutch plate if shagged or have a damaged something else?



The thrush bearing has been sqeaking for a few months now when ever the engine is cold and i pressed the clutch pedal in, its also had a problem getting it into reverse for a few months as well, not all the time but i sometimes had to put it into first and move forward a few inches and then it would go into reverse no problem so i dont know if this has ben a build up to this problem this afternoon.



If its the clutch plate do i have to replace the dual mass flyweeh as well??



Thanks all



Brian

Sry to jack your post but I've got a similar problem when I change gear ther is like a rotating rumble noise . Sum1 I know said it's my clutch thrust bearing. If so how much are they roughly and how hard is it to do thanks .

john656:
I'm no expert i would say clutch and or flywheel especially after trying to recover. Either way gearbox out and it will soon become apparent if the clutch and or dual mass flywheel has gone. From my limited dealings with dual mass flywheels they can have some very limited drive and then stop under their own accord as and when they feel like it, they also make some strange noises when trying to drive and when you turn the engine off.

craig_midz:
if the dual mass flywheel is knackered you will feel a vibration in the clutch pedal by sounds of it you should get away with a new clutch an to answer the other question no point just changin thrust bearin cuz if you strippin it down to change thrust bearin you may as well change clutch at same time an if any of you live near walsall i work in clutch centre so can do you a good deal

Have you tried bleeding the clutch?
