Clutch needed already

Feel the pushrod with your fingers it should feel loose with a bit of sideways play. If it is stiff you will need to adjust the nuts.
Freeplay is set with the two locking nuts.
The trunnion should be floating between the nylock and the other two.
Do not do the nuts up hard against the trunnion.
A couple of mm freeplay is enough.

It may take a bit of trial and error but a bloody good thing to learn especially in a Defender. :rolleyes:
And that freeplay is critical;).

Mine is an 02 defender still with original clutch.

Cheers,
Paul.

Thanks for the info.
I'll give it a try. Can't hurt.

I only know Extreme Clutches from my sports car days, but they were great value for money clutches. I used to use an Extreme triple plate on my R34GTR and launched it many times with 420Kw at the wheels. With a lightened flywheel they were great. Never heard of them being used in 4wd application.

That is if we are talking about the same clutch company here.

Cheers.

hi noogie did you replace the duel mass fly wheel? if you have excessive play in the fly wheel this can result in slippage but it will make a racked before this should happen.
p.s. most solid kit are a good way to get your gear box rebuilt.

We talk about the Land Rover wave , and we talk about the smile . There's nothing quite like the pleasure a Land Rover driver gets than towing a Toyota !

No I put a dual mass flywgeel in because for that reason.
Im hoping it's just an adjustment as I haven't done mre than 15000ks on this kit.
I changed everything needed when I had it done too.
