Land rover 130 clutch.

On the way to job today clutch went had a job getting gears, pressure on pedal but clutch doesn't release. So any ideas whats wrong and whats easier engine or gearbox out.

Which engine woody

[woody paul]

Should of said 300tdi

[Mick Dempsey]

My selector fork.......forked up on my 300tdi. Commonplace apparently.

Box out, chequebook out.

No prob, Engine out then IME the easiest way, usually release arm punches through, but usual symptoms are pedal goes light

Clutch servo?

Mine went a few years back, cost about £16:00 for a new one, no need to remove gearbox.

 

IIRC there wasn't so much pressure evident through the pedal though.

 

Mick's suggestion of the release fork is a good call, usually the pivot wears through the centre of the fork (a lot of wizz boys weld an extra piece of metal onto the fork to make it last longer - you gotta love landies!

 

Good luck

Clutch pedal feels normal.

Selector fork!

 

Just had mine done. £408+vat for HD clutch, all components and labour. Hand it over to a garage.

Engine on a hoist pulled forward so you don't have to disconnect everything and you can change the bits through the gap.

Drop engine mounts off, rad out and exhaust disconnected.

 

Have a look at the fluid level is it low?

If so the fork has probably pierced (normal regular problem) and the system is now low on fluid due to the rod going further.

Got it a part today and found this.
