Phill S Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Time to get the clutch working... I worked out last year (with help from the forum!) that the release mechanism I needed is/was like the Disco 2: On 7/23/2022 at 6:42 PM, Phill S said: After a lot of chasing around I found this in the discovery 2 area: That's from here: https://new.lrcat.com/#!/1232/38569/38570/2967/38583 For reference that can all be found here: https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/112315-v8-clutch-release-conundrum/#comment-1041408 Now I used the push rod, item 10 in the above diagram, FTC5199. Please don't tell me I got that wrong: Am I right in thinking then, that I would need the slave cylinder for the 1987 spec 3.5 V8 - item 16 UKC8677L - now superseded by FTC5071?: The only real difference from the original '87 V8 is the longer push rod to replace item 12? Plus a revision to the slave cylinder end hydraulics to take me from 2.5NA diesel to V8 as in: i.e. replacing the hose 16, then 17 with 18, and 21 with 22? Also, where does bolt 23 attach?

And of course I've forgotten to identify that this is a 3.9 engine with an R380 gearbox. You were just supposed to know that.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Can't help on part numbers but I will rave about the LOF slave cylinder, fitted it to mine (V8 R380) and it's soooo much nicer, only cost a few quid more than standard too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill S Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 Ok - interesting. Any idea which of their models you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Sorry I don't, it will be whatever fits a V8 R380... the chaps at Keith Gott parts desk will know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
