Gearbox/clutch problem

[nicbeer]

Throwout and thrust bearings should come with the kit. U may want to do the spiggot bearing also. this is in the flywheel. a couple of $$ for this.

About right with the box. i got mine for 500 exchange. Clutch, try hitech brake and clutch (frobisher street) in osborne park. they have been reasonable to me.

cheers

someone came over and said my clutch feels/sounds fine.. hrm..

they said what probably happened is one of the bearings came loose... and then the clutch started smoking up because of this?

does that sound right?

[nicbeer]

A small possible- should not effect the clutch not working at all.

As said before: any noises when u let the clutch out when running into any gear?

Check also if the tailshaft to the transfer is moving or not.

cheers

hrm should i open up the transfercae and check to see if that is moving alright? from the outside it seems to be going fine!! but hrm u never know haha

well when i let the clutch out i can still hear the thrust bearing or whatever one it is making the squealing noise it has for the last 6 months haha

[nicbeer]

Have a look under the zook at the shaft between the gearbox and transfer. short shaft about 1/2m long. see if that is turning first. l

eave the gbox in first and clutch out to test. should not be able to stop the shaft turning by hand. If this is turning then the gearbox should be ok.

cheers

hrm what should i do... turn the car on? put it into a gear? and rev it a bit? or what

or should it spin in neutral..

ive got the transfer case part open and u can see the shaft..

[nicbeer]

Nah,

* Start it up
*Put in 1st and clutch out to make it engage first gear. U should be able to let it idle in 1st and the shaft will spin.
*?does the shaft out of the gearbox spin before the transfer case?
*If yes make sure the transfer will shift from N to 4lo or 4high.
*if no then u have problems between engine and gearbox end. (clutch or box)

PM me if u want and u can gimmie a ring.

cheers

[Crawford]

hey i turned it on... put it into first..

and that shaft does not go anywhere.. i can not even spin it by hand...

good or bad?

[Crawford]

hrm that tailshaft between gearbox and trasfer case? why should that move.. if thats moving the car is moving right?

[nicbeer]

hmm, bad. It was the top shaft and not the shaft that goes to the front wheels ??? (will try get a pic later if i can.)

sounding very much like clutch problems still.

Get a proper mech to have a look. if yours mates going to do the clutch swap. best to do it and see whats the issue in there. if its the box u may need some of the cluch parts anyway. Wait to wed to see what they say.

Is a possible that the bearings came loose and spinning up the smoke. Just seems unusual.

cheers

[Crawford]

it was the shaft that you can see looking down to where the transfer case stick goes in...

hrm why is it bad couldve i done more damage? :(

shit eh

[Crawford]

ah i think its definately the clutch as i remember about a month ago i thought i was having carby problems because the car suddenly started revving and not accelerating.. this happened a few times..

I think when i went through deep water ages ago that fucked the clutch up a bit :|

what are your thoughts

[nicbeer]

Sounds like u hit the nail on its head

Water is not a clutch's friend. when u change the clutch check if u have the small metal plate on the bottom rear of the gearbox, this usually stops most of the water getting in.

cheers

[Crawford]

hrm what height is the clutch meant to be? my clutch is 10cm above the brake...

in the factory manual it says it should be level with the brake...

is that a dodgy install from ages back?

cheers

[juzzy]

Sounds like your clutch dude.

Your car won't build revs without building speed unless

a. you've got the clutch depressed.
b. you clutch is slipping.

Get someone with some mechanical skills to have a look at it for you, shouldn't take that long to tell you which part of your car is f*cked. Change the oils in the transfer and diffs while your there. Hot Tip, if your doing that by yourself late at night and have limited tools (read socket set) and you have to drive 90klms to pick the missus up (like i did) make sure you can undo your filler plugs BEFORE you drain the oil out.

i got 2 sets.. surply me with a 1ltr cluster and i may just be able to get you a set of rock lobesters for a slight cash ajustment

[Crawford]

ah RAC are fukkas lol no help
they came over and they like hrm its fucked isnt it and im like hrm yeh..

and then they said the clutch feels fine and they thinking something mustve broken in the gearbox case but they had no idea what it could be..

and then he goes best case is its your clutch worse case is your gearbox..

so... that was helpful..
so now i am becoming a mechanic and i just downloaded the manual on how to drop it out.. my project for the next 3 days!!

ANy advice? or help on getting gearbox/clutch out and what to look for when it is out

[alien]

my advice would be to purchase my tcase internals =P lol

[nicbeer]

my advice would be to purchase my tcase internals =P lol

I think it is the gearbox not the transfer Alien.

Pity u dont have the box to go with it. i got buyers

cheers

[Red_Zook]

do u have drive in 4th? and if not it is the clutch!
4th gear just locks the center shaft in the box. no mater what is brojen it should drive (or make some nasty fucking noises)
and once again... pull the farker out!
