LiamC Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I've just had my gearbox (LT77) out of my 200tdi 110 to fix a leak. Thought I might as well replace the clutch, fork, pivot and release bearing while I'm in there. Just got the box back in, went to fit the clutch slave and noticed that the push rod is slightly recessed in the bell housing.....shouldn't it be proud at its rest point? Fitted the slave anyway to try it, pedal pumped a couple of times and then went solid, I'm assuming the slave has run out of travel? I fear I will have to split the engine and box again but what have I done wrong? Its the same push rod and its still attached to the fork just fine. The new fork and release bearing looked identical to the ones they have replaced. The pivot is mounted on a triangular base, is it possible I could have fitted this the wrong way around, seems unlikely but I'm at a loss as to what is going on here.

western Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 no need to remove the fork ball pivot base, the fork just clips over the ball end of the pivot. IIRC the base only fits one way, [item 4 in http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=753339&SPRACHE=EN] was the release bearing slipper pads swapped over from old to new, if they are now missing, the bearing/fork won't work correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamC Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Thanks western. I actually replaced the pivot ball as it was worn. I fitted new slipper pads too and added a cable tie to the push rod plastic clip so it won't move out of place. I have just had a fiddle with the push rod through the slave aperture, pushing and pulling the rod and something must have moved into place as the rod is now meeting resistance in the correct position. I refitted the slave again and the pedal feels fine and clutch is engaging and releasing correctly now, its puzzling. Think I will fit the mounts and props so I can take a little test drive and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 release bearing probably not quite seated on slipper pads, I had to pull my slave rod forward on my last slave cylinder replacement, sounds like it's all in the right place & working with no more problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
