Thanks.
I've been wondering what is this strange noise I hear when I stop the engine, but clutch not pressed. Probably the clutch then. Time to get the tools out, ordered the output shaft kit and clutch from Ashcroft.. Brgds, Juha '96 300Tdi 90 '07 Puma 90 |

I am also going to get them to fit this conversion, any Idea if the seals will need replacing at any time as a matter of course or should they last?| jst Member Since: 14 Jan 2008 Location: Taunton Posts: 7703

Got it back after having the clutch, slave cylinder, output shaft, swivel seal, king pins re-shimmed and the brakes bled!
What a difference! Quiet and smooth. Saw the old clutch and glad I had it swapped, it rattled like a tambourine and the small inner springs were shot! The output shaft had the usual dry rust and was stuck in place, they had to weld a slide hammer onto their removal tool to get it out! I had them put in the uprated HD clutch and slave cylinder so should be good for another 80 odd K at least |

No, didn't do master, it's fairly easy to get to later but the slave being in the bell housing is a must while everything is apart
HD drive flanges this weekend should see her as smooth as Sean Connery  |
