Landcruiser 60 series clutch problem
Posted: Sat Apr 22, 2006 6:46 pm
Anyone got any ideas?
We've got an HJ60 1989 model and we had a clutch slave/salve (?) replaced (top one) then a month later, noticed clutch oil leaking down clutch pedal inside. Then found out that should have replaced bottom one at same time to avoid this happening.
Had the bottom one replaced at that stage, and all clutch oil drained and replaced. The next day, noticed that when driving in 1st or 2nd gear in traffic, there was no clutch. And when it did engage, it was only about an inch from the floor. Took it back to mechanic and he couldn't find any problems, so replaced the top slave/salve again (he hadn't done the original work), and replaced oil, got rid of any airlocks, etc. etc. Fine for a day or two, but then found exactly same problem again. Clutch only engaging an inch from the floor.
I've had the same mechanic for near on 10 years and he's been good with everything else. Anyone have any suggestions as to what might be the problem, so that I can suggest these to him?
