HELP Is it my Clutch OR gearbox

<< < (5/9) > >>

disco2 td5:
Only thing I can think is crank position sensor that would be in that kinda area I've heard of someone doin a clutch on a 110 with a engine hoist through the door like you say seams a good idea beats a bad back

brianb:
Yep its the crank sensor, Got a haynes manual but was no help as to which wire went to which pin so will have to connect it up and if it dont work then swap the wire over.

Ive also cut the wire from the oil sender as well?????? cant find the other end of that one, ive also got a white wire thats cut as well, god knows whats that for.

These wires must have been buried right at the back of the engine/bell housing...impossible to see till you have dameged them, BLOODY landrovers.

disco2 td5:
There's a high and low switch and also a diff lock swith but there on the transfer box other than them I'm at a loss what the other wires are for

brianb:
well its in!!! :lol:

BUT

The clutch pedal feels crap and i cant get it in gear  :-# :-#

When we were taking the gearbox off we removed the Clutch slave cylinder and the push rod dropped out and we lost some fluid.  Around the end of the pushrod there was what might have been some sort of plastic cover/seal?? hard to work out what it was as it was all chewed and melted, probably due to the heat that the clutch cover was giving just before it shattered (see above pics). 

Anyway we cleaned up the pushrod and shoved it back into the slave cylinder and re attatched it to the landy once we had got the gearbox in.  We bled the clutch for nearly an hour and can see no sighn of air and the pedal feels a bit stiffer but we still cant get it into gear.

If we put it into gear with the engine off and the clutch pressed in then start the car we can drive and change gear, its a little bit difficult to get it into gear so i assume that the clutch is not moving as fully as it should, either because ive still got air in the system or theres  seal damaged inside of slave cylinder OR the pushrod is sticking.

Off to europarts tommorow for a replacement slace cylinder @£39...i can get them cheaper off ebay but i cant wait for it to be delivered and just want to get it sorted.  Will let ou know how i get on.

Did you check the clutch release bearing fork for damage while it was out?
