Clutch slip in4th and 5th

John B · 18-05-2013, 16:28

Hi again could someone please help me, Got a 2004 terrano 2.7 which had a new clutch last year but have noticed that the clutch slips in 3rd 4th and 5th gear when you give it the beans and revs over 4000 rpm but only does it some times and has only seemed to start to do it since the remap. I have noticed that the fluid is dark and starts to bite when the pedal is around 3/4 of the way up.

how much extra torque has she got now as if u push the remap abit the orginal 2.7clutch wont take it even if its new ish makeitfit has put a 3ltr clutch in his 2.7 to coupe with the extra he has done but think his is pushing 170bhp

Yeah thanks I think he is the chap who asked for the details to get his remaped and also hopefully makeitfit will see this post and hopefully advise me on what I need to do. Thanks for your help

If the fluid is dark then you could have a collapsing slave cyl hose that is doing the same as resting your foot on the pedal, check under the motor that you can push the clutch arm into the slave cyl easily, if not change the hose, Rick

Hi thanks for the reply but don't know what you mean by pushing the arm in to the slave, is this to be done from under the car by hand ? also just had a quick look and can see a splitter with a short pipe going to the slave is this the pipe Nd also can see a pipe going to the back of the car what is that for ?

Under the motor on the bell housing you will see the slave cylinder with a rod that pushes the clutch arm, you should be able to push this rod into the cylinder by hand, the pipe that goes to the rear is rubbish, bin it at the earliest opportunity, the rubber pipe plus mounting block is about £13, Rick
