defender90 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Good evening all. I have a bit of a puzzler here. We had a new clutch fitted about 6 months ago, new pressure plate, new friction plate, thrust bearing and actuator arm. So far so good. We went and did a play day on sunday, and the truck drove fine there. On the way back, the clutch was slipping under load. I checked the bite point adjustment and bled the clutch system. No difference. Removed the drain plug, nothing. OK, bite the bullet time, split the gearbox from the engine and pulled the clutch pack out. No contamination, no real wear on the friction plate either, just some light scoring. What do I check for next???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 mine did that recently, after a slave hose & master cylinder change, it just got worse, took it back another clutch fitted & still slipped, did it with Les H's help, been fine since, probably a duff friction plate or contamination of some other stuff. fit a new valeo ftc1994 friction plate, see the 300TDi clucth thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
