Bobs Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I have replaced the sealed system hydraulics on my T reg petrol freelander, but less than 12 months later I appear to have clutch drag with difficulty engaging gears. Are these systems reliable - I think it was a recon unit, certainly not direct from landrover. Is there a suitable conversion to a more substantial system? Might something else be the cause? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defv890 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi can you see any leaks on either end and check the fluid level to see if its low. Also if you remove the slave cylinder (gearbox end) is the cluch arm stiff to move as this will soon kill your hydrolics hope this helps jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8bertha Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The other thing to check is the metal bracket that bolts to the gearbox where the slave clips in. As they age the tabs bend and eventually snap off leaving your slave cylinder dangling. This reminds me, I must get a new bracket for mine... I replaced it with a rusty old one I had kickin about when the original one snapped!! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
