Thread: clutch shudder with squeek.

Most serious issues with these clutches are displayed by one of two things..

1. A clutch that wont disengage fully....results in very hard to select gears and cant select a gear whilst stationary, have to hold on brakes and clutch etc.....one of ours had a broken clutch fork arm (squeaks from bellhousing when moving clutch pedal)
the other a disintegrated clutch lining, springs fell out of plate and caused binding issues Squeaks all the time the pedal is depressed as the clutch bits a pieces drag between flywheel and pressure plate nasty stuff.

2. Clutch that wont engage fully....ie slipping due to either collapsed pressure plate often due to excessive heat from clutch abuse, or clutch wear, from high kms or hard use....



Clutch shudder is usually a much more minor issue of contaminants on pressure plate, in a LR instance almost always oil from rear main.....


What im getting at here is in order to fix any of these problems you have to have it all apart. Ie split bellhousing to motor and remove all clutch components to inspect. Also have to pull all this apart to fix oil leaks at rear main.


As parts needed are unknown until you do this, unless u have an unlimited budget or cant afford an imobilized vehicle.....pull apart then order parts. I did one last weekend took 2hrs to pull apart. Bit more to clean and put back together. Good luck....

Fork is $50
Throw out bearing $20
Clutch kit $350 -500 some are ripping u off some are heavier clutches....
Rear main ??? $$$ wouldnt be too exy
