lacrits68 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 hello! Im pretty "new" on my 110 300tdi -97 with 170 000km on klock, only few motnths back and i have folowing "problem" when pressing the clutch and releasing it with 1st gear in at fisrt happends nothing, then othing and ½ way i feel that i starts to "take" and the BAM att clutch at once resulting an "clunk" and a jump! when changing 2nd gear little less of this and 3rb furthen littles less and so on! what might be the problem? clutch? splines on drive chaft? flanges? ( if i open flanges do i need a replacement seal), gearbox problem or Transferbox problem? a frame ball bad? "propeller chaft" problem? any ideas? --Jan-- Quote
BogMonster Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Is it possibly still the original clutch? If so then a lack of friction lining on the clutch may be the problem - metal to metal is usually a bit jerky Quote
lacrits68 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 hello! can it clutch itself allready? My d2 have done 320 000km on same cluch so far...! -Jan-- Quote
cackshifter Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Rather more optimistically, if you think the clutch is the issue, try a clutch bleed (there is fluid in isn't there - mine leaked away one day and was unnoticeable among the other discarded hydrocarbons), and check the arm moves smoothly when someone works the pedal for you (engine off). Check all the engine/gearbox mounts are tight. If you think 'not clutch', try jacking up a rear wheel, handbrake on, others chocked, and turn the rear wheel to & fro. It should turn a few degrees either way but not clank when it reaches the end of its travel. Try it too with handbrake off, but in gear. If still OK, repeat with a front. That should show up wear in a propshaft joint, and any gearbox clunks. Try getting someone to push it to & fro in gear on level ground while you lie alongside. That will show up A frame balljoint movement. I have a similar age & mileage car, and have had this twice, and both times it was a propshaft u/j (and they're cheap!) Regards Nigel Quote
BogMonster Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I wouldn't put money on any LR clutch doing over 100k miles. Yes there will be plenty of stories about ones with high miles and the original clutch .... but it depends on how it has been driven. Quote
Aragorn Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 The above description is exactly what my mates truck was doing with a leaky master cylinder when i tried to drive it round the yard. You'd raise the pedal looking for the bite, feel it begin to take, try to feed a bit more in and it would just let go and you'd get a horrible bang from the drivetrain and it would jolt forward. He seems to have got used to it and feathers the clutch just right and it doesnt do it though. Quote
lacrits68 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Posted September 18, 2010 hello! clutch is now under work! hers what we found: oil have contaminated clutch and clutch itself looked pretty well used too! No gasket on oilseal assy just some red "glue"....! Well we see this afternoon how things sorts out! cheers Jan Quote
lacrits68 Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 HELP! After clutch change my engine is LEAKING, i dont mean dripping, it poors out engine oil in that small hole in bellhousing! Amount oil has to do with revs...more RPM==>more oil poors out! Driping with idle! what have gone wrong? I bougt new rear oilseal but still! feels like major disater right now! What went wrong in assembly phase??? is there "known" problems with fitting rear oilseal? "300tdi overhaul manual" says that do not touch surface of oilseal etc! is it THAT sensitive??? cheers Jan Quote
