HELP Is it my Clutch OR gearbox

<< < (6/9) > >>

brianb:
I did and it looked ok.  The disco 2 had a lot better forks that the disco 1.  Still undecided if its my slave cylinder OR still some stubborn air.

Axetamer:
You've put the friction plate in the right way round haven't you?......the 1st clutch I did 30 odd years ago, I put the plate in the wrong way around...never made that mistake again

brianb:
Yep its in the right way.

Looks like the slave cylinder is knackered, it looked a bit rough when we took it off with, there was what looked like some sort of seal could have been a dust seal or maybe something else, hard to tell what it was cos it was also mangled, we discarded the bit and stupidly refitted the slave cylinder so obviously it was something important lol

 I've ordered a new one so should have it sorted in a day or so.

Range Rover Blues:
They can be a PITA to bleed, I'd bled them from the pipe unions before now.  Check if you have the clutch damper too, also a pain.

brianb:
Well fitted the new slave cylinder and bled the system and it still dont work right.

the clutch pedal feels right but it wont go into gear.  If i turn off the engine and pop it into first, press the clutch in and start the engine i can move the car, even with the clutch fully in the car is creeping forward.  If i drive off i can change through the gears though i have to pull on the gear lever a bit, if i stop and take it out of gear it wont go back into gear unless i turn the engine off and repeat the above procedure.

Im now at a total loss what to do next, to be honest i'm well fed up .

So far its had a full new 5 peice clutch consisting of

valeo dualmass flywheel

ap clutch plate and cover

ap thrust bearing

spigot bearing


New slave cylinder.


The clutch fork is OK



Gearbox was working fine before shredding incedent apart from a little difficulty getting into reverse which i put down to worn clutch.

Brother reackons that the gearbox oil looks [!Expletive Deleted!] and that could be causing the problems....what do people think?  i think not but at this point im open to suggestions.  Im going to do the gearbox oil on wekend as it needs done anyway

Has anyone got any suggestions cos im standing here with a can of petrol....which i really cant afford to burn at these prices lol.


Thanks
