sixfeetofmud Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I was driving down the road when I could no longer press in the clutch lever . the lever seems really jammed . an lost ability to use the clutch . I figure its the master cylinder or the slave cylinder but there was no trace of leaking oil . Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 TDI? They sometimes punch a hole in the clutch fork, and your symptoms are the usual outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 TDI? They sometimes punch a hole in the clutch fork, and your symptoms are the usual outcome. Beat me to it. A very common failure on Tdis - the fork is astonishingly badly made, a perfect example of cost-engineering: have a look at a SIII fork in comparison!

Aragorn Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Whats weird is the V8 retained the series cast fork, and they switched back to the cast fork on the TD5 (still with the series3 part number too!) I wonder if the cast fork can be swapped in on a TDI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should be finding this out very shortly! About to do clutch on disco and lying in the garden is a V8 R380 and bell housing- thought about it last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
