I bought a vitara! now: help w locking hubs + clutch..

[drifta]

hey guys,

i just bought a vitara but want to adjust a few things

1) one of the locking hubs wont budge, how do i take it apart and fix this?

2) the clutch pedal is a bit loose and i think the clutch needs adjusting a bit because it catches when going into reverse as if its not properly dis-engadged, so it sort of 'crunches' into gear.. so i want to adjust this

how do i adjust these things? is there a manual for it somewhere? anyone in perth wanna help me with it?

cheers

Paul

hey man, theres no syncro in reverse thats why its hard to engage! just start selecting 4th before goin into reverse.
sortin out the hubs should be simple. where in perth are u? carton of corona and il sort it all out for u.

Give the hubs a good spray with WD40 or CRC

Check the oil level in the gearbox.

push the clutch pedal with 1 finger , if it goes more than 20-25mm down before you feel resistance , you have too much freeplay . if this is the case you will have to take freeplay out by tightening the nut at the end of the cable.

If freplay in pedal is fine , you either have a prob with the clutch or a cable that is on its way out.
