GQ Clutch Operation

[nalucas]

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to check something. Does a GQ 4.2 diesel run a spigot bearing in the end of the crank shaft for the gearbox input shaft?

Thing is, my clutch is getting on a bit and can slip if pushed hard, but it also feels sometimes like it not disengaging properly, which is a bit weird, as everything generally seems ok.

Supposing it does have a spigot bearing, the one thought I did have is that maybe the spigot bearing is beginning to seize and is causing the input shaft to spin, which is what can make it hard to engage a gear at standstill. Mainly reverse and first are the problems.

Anyone had a similar prob?

Cheers

Nathan

i just had a similar problem
my clutch master cylinder shat itself, therefore when trying 2 select reverse with no syncromesh made it hard, and 1st was a bitch,

we bled it, and it was still shite, so was a new master cylinder and adjust the pedal, and so far so good,

they have a spigot bush not a bearing in those motors
