Marco Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi, my 2007 2.4 Puma Defender (93.000km) has started to use clutch fluid. It does not leak at master cylinder or at the pipework so expect it to be the slave cylinder. To my surprise that one is fitted in the bell housing and only accessible by dropping the gearbox. Not an easy job but also not impossible. Main question is which parts should I buy to replace all bits inside the bell housing. I did find these ones: LR052128LR UUG500040 LR031188 LR048731G Do I have them all or should I get some more (or less) bits for this job? I did find this helpful video.. In general: the Puma clutch operation is heavy, much heavier than at my 200Tdi. There is also some clutch judder when cold. This could be caused by the leaking fluid IMO? Alternatively to the DIY job I can bring the car to a (Land Rover) workshop but expect costs to be very high. Cheers, Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cackshifter Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Heavy operation might be a worn pressure plate,they get heavier with use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 TBH I'd replace the whole lot while you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
