Clutch and flywheel change

Nigt3 · Nov 18, 2013

Hello

I'm justing after changing the clutch and flywheel in my freelander, i changed the flywheel to a solid one but and soon as i finished and took it for a test drive, there is a banging noise and the gearstick sort of rolls slowly in your hand even in neutral!! Any ideas? I'm thinking maybe put the flywheel in wrong but it looked like only one way to go in???

flywheel should sit on a dowel so only fit one way ,solid flywheel may make box feel more harsh and rattle

Play in the gear linkage is the most likely cause

There's more vibration through tranny but not in neutral, only in low revs off boost

The jeep goes into gear no problem and the clutch feels ok its just theres movement in the gearlever when your moving forward even in neutral but when you stop there is no movement it just feels normal!! Its weird because when moving the gearlever is moving in a small circular motion and has pressure against it. Also there is a clunking noise when you put any steering lock on the jeep, there was none before i changed the clutch.

Are all the engine mounts ok?

Woah... second post and he calls it a Jeep. Unforgivable.... there's a green badge all over the place- read what it says.

Once you've done that, check the engine mounts as suggested above.

He maybe a yank...... hence all 4x4 must be jeeps.... And if so we are obliged to bow down and submit to his better superior authority and knowledge.....altough as usual it will be stolen and claimed as his own.....any way have a nice day!....but on second thoughts he can't be as McDonald eating fat gits wouldn't fit in a freelander.

O and by the way if you are a yank..........I'm only joking...........mainly.......but you are all very fat and you can't pronounce solder.......it always comes out as sorder...not quite the queens english is it!!!!

solid fly wheels will do that and get used to the vibration

He got it fine ---

it's a 'pronunciation', Americans don't pronounce the 'l' in solder, as the English do ...

Americans pronounce it 'sodder' ...... - stop laughing at the back ...

FFS it still isn't pronounced with a 'l' by an American is it ?

and what you're saying is incorrect -- the 'pronounciation' spelling is 'how' you say it ...

Methinks the OP could be Irish.....they always call a 4 X 4 a "Jeep" irregardless of who it's made by.
