transit mk7 clutch help (any help id really appreciate)

[trannyvanman16]

Hi Guys

Need advice basically got a transit euro 5 2.2 6 speed and its acting strange.
The clutch bite point is extremely sharp its not a smooth uptake its all or nothing if that makes sense.?

When pressing accelerator in lower gears when driving (higher the revs) it jolts when taking up drive.

when driving from 1st to second it jolts the van almost as if there is play / slop in drive some were....

gears are sometimes notchy

1st gear can kangaroo and the rev gauge bounces and only way to stop it is take foot of accelerator or put more power down.
oh and if going over speed bumps slowly it also makes the revs bounce abit. its almost like the van is going faster then the clutch grabs and take drive.

any help would be amazing as i aint half having some bother recently.

engine runs sweet and revs freely so i cant imagen its anything todo with that.

thanks
Tom

If driving and you accelerate does the rev counter go up but speed doesn't increase or increase slowly, then your clutch is slipping, and by the way you've described the clutch pedal it sounds like definite clutch probs , is it FWD or RWD, what horsepower ?

[trannyvanman16]

no pulls fine never slips. its a 100bhp fwd
im convinced its a clutch issue as well

what are clutch and fly wheel like todo ?

[trannyvanman16]

i did think maybe flywheel issue

I've only done 5sp euro4 on mk7s and they're actually ok to do but cant say for 6spd though
On ma €4 130 i swaped DM for SM and not had any bother in over 150000mls in about 2yrs

Hi
Surly there won't be much difference in them. How ever I did read somewhere that there isn't a smf kit for the 6speed so may have to settle for a dmf again. Did you do yours on a ramp? Or on floor?

Thanks
Tom

Kangarooing, jolting through gears, etc, sounds like flywheel to me too.

On the deck in the pissin wet stuff maself

[trannyvanman16]

Any tips on doing it? I'm gonna have a go and do it my self. Did you use like a Haynes manual ?

[trannyvanman16]

Yeah I'm thinking flywheel issue as well rich.

Did you contact ford regards this ?

No a mate never used a Haynes, I'm actually a bodyshop mechanic to trade but left the trade a long time ago......make sure you use LUK clutch parts, you get good prices on ebay or on-line at Euro car parts as you'll get at least 35% discount as long as you order online
Decent tool kit with big breaker/master bar and a large torque wrench , big socket for hub nuts (think its 36mm) big jack, axle stands and somebody to help as it'll be heavy and luck

[trannyvanman16]

I was gonna ask is it best using Luk clutch kit ? I've looked on euros to be fair..
