I could not claim any more gears

Postby transitpuller » Mon Mar 15, 2010 6:18 pm

Bin up yesterday stop with my motor home :roll: Transit FT 150 3.5 to, 115 hp Di Bj.95 long and high still on a park next to a strip Bundesstr, to have come.

My problem was, I could not claim any more gears. The first thing I tried to put the ratchet on the clutch pedal by one. That
but did not because the rope was too long. I went under the car and had taken off his disguise. Somehow, the clutch lever was too loose. Then I threw in the towel and called the car tow the ADAC club. We have then taken my car on a low loader to go home.
Today, I have solved the gearbox from the engine and I will single out tomorrow. Had last year built a stronger coupling, as
I constantly had problems with the normal coupling, after a long drive and approach to mountain, plucked the constandle. In wintertime, shy course was to turn Neviges. With the increased clutch I had these problems any more. However, I had to properly press the pedal () quite difficult. These pressures have apparently not from the pole. She broke behind the part where the rope is hooked.

The lever is made of aluminum alloy, and looks pretty puny. The gear have run 175 000 km, so far without any problems.
Who knows about transit gearbox? Is there a greater leverage to build? Or is there in the Ford camp a hydraulic actuation, the I can adjust to rebuild?http://fordtransit.org/forum/posting.php?mode=post&f=4#

Being fluent in Yiddish, Raddish and Rubbish, allow me. Could go badly wrong!

"I could not claim any more gears." I cannot engage any gears.
"The first thing I tried to put the ratchet on the clutch pedal by one." I tried to adjust the clutch ratchet.
"but did not because the rope was too long." The cable was too slack.
"I went under the car and had taken off his disguise." Crazy name for a boot.
"Somehow, the clutch lever was too loose." Oh sh*t, that shouldn't be like that!
Then I threw in the towel and called the car tow the ADAC club.
"Today, I have solved the gearbox from the engine and I will single out tomorrow." Gearbox out today.
"Had last year built a stronger coupling," Heavy duty clutch?

I give up! I guess the clutch release arm has failed. His spelling is better than some on here , what the hell is a 'constandle'? Anyone?

If you worked all that out, i'm sure you can work out what a "constandle" is!

ich denke, es gibt keine starkere kupplung gabel. Es ist eine gemeinsame schuld. Sie sind alle kabel betrieben

he has a camper that he has converted from a 76ps banana to a 115ps (he had the intercooler but i'm not sure if he fitted it).
He could not get any gears and was recover home, he has removed the engine and box and found the clutch fork to be broken.
He enquires whether there is a way to fit a hydraulic clutch or if there are any stronger clutch forks available


and the bit about the disguise relates to him removing the cover over the clutch fork

At the risk of spoiling all the fun, :D has anybody got any practical advice for the poor guy. What does the team think. :idea: .collapsed thrust bearing :?: broken fork :?: Would it be possible to have the fork welded back to shape in place, though I think he has already unhooked the box, by what I can make out. Anyway good luck, and I bet your English is better than my whatever your mother tongue is :lol:

Until the box is out and a bit more information is given, we would only be guessing at what the problem is. When we know what is broken, then some helpful advice can be given :wink: 8)
