GQ Clutch Operation
Posted: Tue Oct 21, 2008 3:26 pm
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
