kiall Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 On my mates Disco we changed the gearbox about 3 months ago with a unit from ashcrofts , we also replace rear crank seal pilot bearing and clutch and beefed up the pivot point on the fork Now the problem is he is finding it hard to select gears and putting the clutch down in first it continues to drive slighty , i havent been out to look at it going tomorrow but does anyone have any ideas i thought at first might be the slave but as said i havent had a look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry got the clutch rod bit wrong ,you will have lengthened it so may have problems selecting gear because you have restricted the movement available, but if you have strengthened it on the rear forget all this twaddle and carry on the test by clamping the flexi.
