HELP Is it my Clutch OR gearbox
brianb:
Hi all and thanks for all the replys.
Well me and the brothers have just finnished taking the gear box out to inspect the clutch....what a [!Expletive Deleted!] job!! what were landrover thinking with some of those bolts, they were in stupidist places to get to
Anyway heres a picture of what we found inside the bell housing
(hope this works)
Closer look at contents
and has anyone ever seen a clutch this bad???
And what about this
Pretty obvious now the clutch is nackered!
Cant understand how it got this bad, the Thrust bearing had been squeaking for months but no clutch slip NO judder nothing, Just starting slipping after trying to pull the brothers Trooper out of the mud.....im stunned at the damage, shredded clutch plate and shattered pressure plate. Even after the car lost drive totally there was no vibrarions or strange noises.
On closer inspection we could find no signs of a spigot bearing so looks like someone has changed the clutch in the past and not fitted it...dont know if this has made the problem worse?????
The Dual mass flywheel looked ok at first but there were a couple of metal plugs missing from around one side of it with what looks like some sort of pin. We could easly move the flywheel side to side so suspect the springs were shagged as well...so new flywheel as well GULP!!
The clutch and Dual mass fly wheel that was in is a Valeo Kit....is it worth fitting the same again?? or is there an alternative
Off for a bath now cos im filthy

Off topic slightly, its interesting to see that there are no springs in the plate, so does the dual mass flywheel supply the damping when shock loading the clutch?
Aren't valeo factory fitted?

Yep the dual mass flywheel has all the springs and bits, A complete 5 part kit from ebay is going to cost me about £360 and that includes
Dual mass flywheel
clutch plate
clutch cover
thrust bearing
Spigot bearing.
Wasnt sure if valeo were factory fitted or not...anyone know for sure??
