slipping clutch

Post by speedracer006 »

went for a quick fourby today after work, and after 5 minutes in the sand, the clutch started to slip wickedly. i would have it in 4wd low, go to take off, and would just go nowhere (the wheels wernt even spinning!!). i let it cool for a bit then drove her home. seems that when it cools and gets put back in 2wd, it doesnt seem to slip. However i have an invoice from the guy i bought the car off saying that it had a full new clutch kit put in it on the 31st of janurary! has anyone else had this problem? its definately the clutch but it just seems odd since this clutch has only been in for 4 months!

Make sure there is freeplay at the clutch fork on the gearbox. There is an adjustment nut at the end of the cable.

As scrawnC said, chech your adjustment, as the new clutch beds in it will require a few adjustments. How much free-play is in your pedal, where is the take-up point?

My clutch shit itself all of a sudden. Found out that the gearbox seal died and gearbox oil leaked into the clutch area.
