1990 GQ patrol TD42
i have had a DTS turbo and DTS full 3 inch exhaust inc dump pipe fitted for 3 years.
I have procrastinated over this issue for 3 years;
The dump pipe seems to have very minimal clearance with the clutch slave cylinder bracket/heat shield. The manifold and dump pipe bolts are all tight and everything appears to be in its place.
Does anyone else have this issue? would some of you with DTS kits be able to tell me how much clearance you have on your set up? The dump pipe is also very (<10mm) close to the edge of the gearbox - as seen further up in the photo.
I work on Gq td42 ute with a dts kit and we had the same problem, we had the dump pipe angled forward as it kept boiling the clutch fluid and going through slave cylinders.
Thanks a lot for that bit of info. I also had to replace the clutch slave 2 years ago to pass rego as it was leaking slightly - however that was less than 10,000kms ago.
anyone else have the same issue with slave cylinders?
mine sists in the same position, the heat shiel touches the exhaust, never had any dramas in the 100,000ks except when towing through hils with a car trailer and a GQ ute on the back,
in the end i had a washer pump rigged up to spray the slave before the hill and the clutch was fine, if i didnt spray it i couldnt get any gears,
it was only a prob about twice a year.
id geat a new dump pipe made that angled forwards a bit

any comments appreciated
Thanks
you waited 3 years? that clearance is totally unacceptable.
it may not cause any issues straight away, but it is substandard work.
