Finaly Clutch Repaired

[Aussiewander]

Has anyone else had problems with the clutch sticking, heavy pedal and a slight noise from bell housing after it has been wet. (or rainy days as i said to the stealers) . My machanic and i had a good guess what the problem was and these boof heads at the stealers keep saying that their is nothing wrong with the clutch . Well after getting sick of this and being turned away i stuck my foot down and they finaly took the gear box out and what do you know s#*t hey there is a problem.
The clutch and bearing had a fault from the manufacturers, clutch plate had wrong springs in it and scored the fly wheel, bearing was worn and no grease had ever existed, the sharft had a few marks but was ok to reuse. They cut a hole in the bottom of the bell housing as well to help drain i suppose.
They had to replace: Disc- Clutch 225mm
Cover assy- clutch
Bearing- 70.6mm
Bearing- Flywheel Drive pinion
Machine Flywheel
and they repaired the rest and machined flywheel and now this clutch is the best its ever been even from new. yea yea

Good job wander, several other people have had that problem after rainy days. After a very rainy day I've not suffered from that problem, so x-fingers...

Aussie at least you have it fixed and hopefully to your satisfaction The worst case might have been that they blamed the undue wear and tear on the beach driving and well you know the rest as Jitsu said a few other members have experienced the same sort of thing and now I suppose they have a case to go get the dealers to do something about it........we can only hope

Hey guys i had the heavy clutch when i first pick the truck up and when i added water its just got worse from their. i only have 25000km on the clock as it only gets driven on week ends. If you push them they will bend if not just push again
