Slipping Clutch
Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2005 7:58 pm
Fellas, I need some opinions.
I can no longer make excuses. I can no longer blame sloppy technique. I can no longer ignore the fact that my clutch is slipping. (124,000km old, only half of it mine - is that pretty bad?)
I've searched here and on the Pajero Club Forum, and as far as I can tell, there is no adjustment available (other than pedal position, which has plenty of free-play, and takes up/disengages not far from the top of travel. )
I'm trying to convince myself that a good bleed might fix the problem, but I would expect air in the system to hinder disengagement, not cause slippage?
Am I wasting my time doing anything other than book it in for a replacement clutch? (I'm too lazy to attempt it myself...)
When I book it in, what brand of clutch kit should I ask for? One thread suggested a Daikin (an airconditioned clutch? ) While it's out, should I get the box overhauled in an attempt to improve my 2-3/3-2 shift issues?
What are your thoughts and/or experiences?
Thanks,
Scott
