    TD5 Cutch and Gearbox Rebuilds



    Have been kicking around the classifieds and have noticed that in the adverts for a few TD5 110, people are indicating that they have replaced the clutch and/or had the gearbox rebuilt/reconditioned around 100,000 – 120,000k’s.

    It goes without saying that driving styles are unique and impact on the wear of such components. Items such clutches wear overtime and will inevitably require replacing, however 100,000-120,000k’s appears like a short shelf life between gearbox rebuilds. Is it therefore fair to assume that the vehicle has not had an easy life?

    I am interesting in hearing your thoughts.

    I think some of them develop a shudder or the like. Mine had a replacement flywheel and clutch at about 30k but is now all fine. I am told (but don't know this first hand) that it is an extremely heavy duty clutch so I'd be surprised if they were prematurely wearing.

    Mines got 180k on the clock, still with original clutch and gearbox and still both ok. The only thing that needs doing is the damn annoying spigot bearing in the flywheel, it's a bit worn and whines every now and then
