paime Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I'm getting the dreaded clutch judder on my 90 TD5 and i imagine it's time to replace it before it gives up on a drive somewhere. A couple of questions for you: 1 - is this a job i can do myself in my garage? I have a trolley jack, bottle jack, most tools and plenty of teabags 2.- do i absolutely need to replace the DMF as well? 3 - any recommended clutch manufacturers? 4 - is there anything else i need to replace whilst i'm in there? There's a high-pitched whine in the morning when i start it up and depress the clutch so i'm thinking release bearing as well? 5 - any links to tutorials anywhere? I've tried searching this forum but i couldn't find anything (probably my terrible searching skills) Edited May 17, 2020 by paime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 you should be able to find a lot of info in one of these threads. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Alr4x4.com+Td5+clutch+replacement&oq=site%3Alr4x4.com+Td5+clutch+replacement&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.13384j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Thanks for sharing that, Western, didn't realise i could use Google like that! So to answer my own questions: 1 - Kinda 2 - yes 3 - Valeo 4 - release bearing, slave cylinder 5 - still can't find any links to tutorials or step-by-steps. Some people take the engine out and others are pulling the gearbox back, both seem like a terrifying proposition to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
