Clutch issue

[Kieran Donnelly]

Hi,I’ve got a 06 transit connect 200l high top,fit new clutch and clutch pipe line,drove for 1 day,now no drive again,but still pressure at the pedal,what else could cause this

Well, if was a clutch hydraulics problem ..it would still take up drive as the hydraulics are designed to separate the drive / disconnect it , and "at-rest" is inoperative ..it would be "in drive"

So as one of the things they did was pull the drive shafts out ..they could be looked at ......because of the way the differential in the gearbox works ..you only have to have one drive shaft fail - to have no drive to both.

Possible reasons for drive shaft failure.

1. They pulled it out instead of levering near the box and they snapped the circlip that holds in place the tripod or they pulled the outer cv joint apart ...in both cases it can still appear that the drive shaft is connected as the boots may be hiding the dislocation.

2. Snapped driveshaft

3. Nut fell off end of drive shaft, because it wasn't tightened correctly ..nut is 320 newton meters and has no locking mechanism

is there any noise taking place ?

Gearbox fault.

1. Gearbox outer shift mechanism busted / worn ..and its really in neutral

2. other faults are within the gearbox .

Clutch plate or diaphragm

1. cheap Chinese clutch plate has failed in some way

I don''t know lots of people come here and have major problems, and you never find out the outcome. he last visited August 31st

if you press on their name you can see this information on their profile..

Another thing that is happening that everyone's moving away from computers and onto mobile phones ..and its a pain in the arse to type complex messages on them.

Bet anyone here who answers problems regularly with more than a couple of lines of advice is on a computer and not a phone.

Phones will be the down fall if this type of forum
