Surely if you push the clutch pedal with the slave cylinder not bolted into the bell housing,it will push the piston out,& thus drop all the fluid?

OK,just in from another full day in the garrage. I have stripped the gearbox out (3rd time) ,made sure everything is assembled as it shuold be,friction plate is definately in the right way round,in fact,I tried to put it in the wrong way & it protrudes so as you would struggle to bolt the...

I have tried bellding it with the nose jacked up. Reverse bled it as well. I have adjusted the master cylinder rod. Everything I do makes no diference. So, I have stripped the gearbox out.............AGAIN! Everything apears OK,though the clutch fork seems to be touching the bell housing caseing...

So,the saga continues............... I stripped the gearbox out again,I think the clutch fork had slipped out of position the first time I put it back together,which meant that the slave rod did'nt locate properly in the little recess. I think this caused the slave piston to push right out &...

It's quite a straight forward job realy,just labour intensive. You will need a decent tool kit,& some method of lifting the gearbox/transfer box out & back in again.Either an engine crane,or I use a block & tackle suspended on 2 steel tressels & steel accrow prop. Take out the pannel under the...

I had an hour spare this afternoon,so I had a poke about in the hole where the slave cylinder goes.I could feel the little recesed socket where the push rod sits,but it dousent feel to be in the correct positionI poked a screwdriver in there & tried to push the clutch fork,but it's solid.I guess...

Hi Kwakerman Thanks for the input. I put the new clutch,fork,bearing,slave & master cylinder in about 6 months ago.At the same time I replaced the oil seal at the rear of the flywheel,Unfortunatel the seal leaked,so, that is the only thing I was replacing this time. I split the gearbox,replaced...

Should it stick out???

It was'nt,it was inside the hole where the slave fits,I had to get a pair of long nose pliers to pul it out.But yhere was a little bit of resistance when I pulled it out,as if it was located properly in the fork. Marc

Clutch fork is new,as is the slave cylinder. Looks like the gearbox is coming out again...Aaaaggggghhhh. Marc

Yes James.I did'nt take anything out of the bell housing,just stripped the clutch & flywheel out to replace the oil seal at the rear of the flywheel. Marc

After spending the last 2 days replacing the seal at the rear of the flywheel,I finaly got everything back together,tried the clutch & the pedal went straight to the floor.I looked underneath,there was clutch fluid leaking out of the wading plug hole in the bell housing. I took out the slave...

I generaly have 2 or 3 trips to the Pyrenees each year,though this year I would like to visit Corsica.I have researched a few routes which look interesting. I went to Portugal 3 or 4 years ago,but the North where we went was suffering big forrest fires & off roading was not possible. I'm...

I have just fitted a pair of those.I have wired the side light in the headlight up to my LED sidelights,no problem at all they work a treat.....But mine have clear/whithe bulbs not blue/white. Marc

Your going top Europe,not outer Mongolia.There are spares available here. Just take the basics.Go,& enjoy the trip. Marc

Just a quick update on this problem. Turned out to be the earth strap from the battery to the chassis/transfer box. Cleaned it up & re fitted,up to yet gauge has not gone above normal/vertical. Thanks for the ideas & all your imput fellas.Much aprechiated. Marc

I had exactly the same problem with the Wipac LED's. I conected them up with the conectors as supplied,& various lights did'nt work,it seems the wires were the wrong way round on the LED's,just cut off the connectors & rewire them the oposite way and all worked as they should. Best of luck. Marc

I'd not thougt of that. I'll try it later today. Thanks Marc

Theres a bit of a story behind this one,so bear with me. Last May whilst in the Pyrenees my 300tdi started running a bit hot,not off the scale,just touching the red area on the gauge. So me thinks,thermostat is Fubared,so I took it out.All good,once warmed up gauge reads normal. I have run it...

Here are some of the rear of my 90.
