Clutch not disengaging

[littlerob]

master cylinder or slave cylinder but i say master clyinder around 70 pound part and you can fit it your self in about half an hour mite even have a air lock take of the brake and clutch fluid top and keep pumping the clutch mite help if there is just an air lock i have a firend who works for ford and iveco

If you pump the clutch half a dozen times can you engage it then . worth trying before you dismantle everything. We've a transit that has a some leak in the clutch system and if it sits for any length of time you have to do this to engage any gear.

Same happened on my 52 plate truck, you had to put it in gear before starting it. Clutch was knackered!

[Simon R]

Have a look under the steering column at the clutch pedel where it connects to the clutch master cylinder to see if is damp with fluid,if it is then easy to replace,pull r-clip that connects rod to pedel and pull of, then go under bonnet and pull of the pipe from the side of the main master cylinder, then just twist clutch master cylinder 1/4 turn and it will pull out of the bulkhead. Easy job (10 mins)

If its the slave cylinder,again easy job,(under vehicle in side of gearbox)clamp flexi pipe....pull out c-clip and pull flexi out of slave cylinder,then twist slave 1/4 turn and it will come out.

there is a bleed nipple on the back of the slave to bleed this and the master(this turns 1/2 turn to open).

if its neither of these then it'll be the dual mass flywheel thats knackered.

get a solid flywheel clutch conversion,about £200 for complete kit.

 

sorry for rambling on...
