Can't get it in

[makeitfit]

Can't get it in .................. Gear :lol Lost all clutch action today and had a rather interesting trip home Had to switch it off engage gear and start it in first Then crash box home
Any way, is it most likely to be slave cylinder or master? Any top tips to find out ?
Cheers oh learned ones :thumb2

have you tried lube?

Might be neither, check the clutch fluid level, if low then search for leaks around the master and the slave, but also on the damper pipe, that ends near your rear axle.

Fluid level has not moved, still full :thumbs Damper pipe not there, it got binned even before I got the truck
No leaks visible !

Could be the flexi pipe, you need to get an assistant to press the clutch pedal down, whilst you see what moves and what doesn't.

Ah, I seem to recall someone else having that prob. So does the pipe sort of swell up like a comedy tyre :lol

How about the clutch it's self?

Jim

 

[makeitfit]

Clutch doesn't slip till I switch the LPG on :lol

 

[jims-terrano]

Mine didn't slip either, it just went. Oh what fun that was but thanks to some crackin guys on here got it sorted without too much hassle.

Jim

 

[makeitfit]

Explain please Jim

 

[jims-terrano]

One minute it did and then next it dint. To be fair there was a noise after it had gone with or without the pedal being pressed. The usual story of the plate ripping apart. Happened twice but 8 years between the two times.

Well I've defo got drive just can't get a gear in

 

[solarman216]

well first off lay under and look at the slave cylinder while another pushes the clutch pedal, (preferably female with a skirt) and see if the slave moves about 25 mm if it does then new clutch, if not new master cyl, and you wasant looking at anything else was you, Rick

I'm sure something will move at least 25mm, sounds like a plan....:naughty

But also check your flexible hose, as this might be expanding too....:naughty

ARSE, the slave cylinder and hose seem fine as it's moving easily with the clutch pedal
So can someone explain what else it could be? I've got drive as I had before just cant engage a gear. So could the arm the slave cylinder moves be broken perhaps? :nenau

...or something busted so that the plate is permanently engaged? Clutching at straws here mate....
