Thread: clutch problems

Had same problem years ago in a HK holden 3 speed. It was a reverese locking pin fell out. Did you have a pressed metal or cast iorn clutch fork. My cast one looks pretty difficult to break. I have heard the old pressed ones wore out and had to be replaced when you did the clutch.

i think the long term fix is to weld plate over the back of the new fork to stengthen it.
Keith I'd like to be able to offer a suggestion but sadly i'm not too hot with gearboxes.
I feel your pain though, pulling a gearbox out isnt the most fun job in the world.

after having a little play with today i am pretty sure its a slave/master system type problem. it seams to disenguage the clutch but not quite enough.

Re-bleed the clutch.

p.s i was not in reverse when the fork snapped.

HOW did the clutch fork break??? They are solid cast in The Td5, same as D1 RRC V8 etc. Not like the useless pressed metal number in the Tdi...
And yes, sometimes they need a bleed afterward.
