1992 Defender 90 200 Tdi HT Zermatt Silver

Which replacement clutch?

My gearbox is leaking, i know, its a Defender its meant too! So while i am there splitting the box to replace the seal/stop the leak i was thinking about replacing the clutch as well. The 90 has done 60,000km now so i might as well do it at the same time.

My question is, which clutch do i go for? It is a 2009 on the standard original clutch. I know there were upgrades by LR to fix problems they had with clutches, not sure if this was sorted for the 2009 model or not though?

So do i go for a standard OE clutch from LR or an aftermarket clutch? Which is the best in your opinions?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Mark

2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 CSW Bonatti Grey

see here http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic12575.html

60k is low for a clutch, mine only started making sound at 75000 and is still going strong now 10000km (with a big part of off roading and trailering in it) later.

I have an AP replacement ready (paddocks) for when it disintegrates and did not find other aftermarket suppliers with a replacement.

The clutch is fine at the moment and have had no problems at all, but i was thinking that while the gearbox is out i might as well change the clutch as well, it could well go on for another 60k km but might explode in 10k km and then i'd be really pee'd of having to pay to have the gearbox back out.

Thanks for the AP recommend, i'll have a look at it.

Replaced mine with AP clutch and Land Rover master cylinder at 38 000 miles. Been great since, no problems at all.

I would say you're lucky, my clutch was replaced at 33,000km and I know quite a few ppl who've had theirs replaced way before 50,000km --

I may have been lucky, when I looked under the bonnet of my 110 (after picking it up new from dealers) in April 2010 and there was a piece of A4 paper stuffed into the underside of the bonnet with "NO CLUTCH" printed on it - so my guess is it failed the factory test and was fixed properly. so far 16,000kms and no problems.

if you are having the gearbox out, and thinking of putting a new clutch in, what about a new rear oil seal ? - the list goes on.
