Perentie Clutch Upgrade
Hi All,
I was driving down town yesterday and unfortunately without any warning my clutch pedal went to the floor (no pressure) and a grinding noise came from the floor. The noise went away and the clutch pedal came back up again and I was able to continue driving and using the gearbox as normal before it happened again about 10kms further down the road. This happened about 4 more times before I drove the vehicle into my mechanics garage. He seems to think the thrust bearing or the sleeve is somehow damaged and is floating maybe. Any thoughts from the Perentie community?
I started looking up replacement clutch kits and I believe that there is a heavier duty clutch kit for the Perentie and that it is recommended one is installed if a turbo is bolted onto the 4BD. I don't have a turbo on my RFSV but may well install one in the next couple of years, so if I am going to replace the clutch I thought I may as well upgrade the clutch to suit a turbo now if it needs replacing.
Any thought from the knowledgable Perentie community would be much appreciated as I my mechanic is going to drop the gearbox next week and I told him I would look into the options before ordering a clutch kit.
Regards Warrick.
