Wyvern - I’ve had the clutch done on mine last week, now have the Transit 4x4 clutch in and I like it.
I note that with yours the spigot / pilot bearing was shot. On mine it was the springs on the drive plate that had let go, however, the engineer left the removed parts in the back for me to have a look at and the spigot bearing was replaced. The old one that was taken out on mine didn’t look to be in a great shape either. Interestingly like many others have experienced the clutch friction plate it’s self was no where near worn out, I’d say 50% worn on mine and the springs being a failure point on LR’s clutch offering seems to be incredibly common.

Does anybody have the part no for the correct 4x4 transit clutch
Is a matching slave cylinder required or is the Land Rover one used? |

Done a few miles on the new Transit 4x4 clutch now and it’s bedded in well.
I’m very pleased with it, it seems a better clutch to me. It’s not heavier in fact it’s smoother, and feels more solid. Of course it’s hard to say and placebo affect can be applicable but it’s different to LR’s offering and I do like it out of the workshop. My biggest concern with LR’s offering is the springs, twice they were in bad shape. The second time around they were the cause of the failure on the second clutch. Bearing in mind mine doesn’t tow anything more than a tonne, and I rarely go off road except maybe a couple of gentle greenlanes a handful of times a year. Many thanks to Dgardel for being the trailblazer and Blackwolf for subsequently then recommending it also. On mine due to age, I’m glad I replaced the master cylinder on mine as well. Which was a Genuine one I chose, but there are a lot of options out there as well. The Gen MC lasted 88k and 14 years or however long it was so I can’t complain at that! Thought some of you may appreciate the update, and of course it fitted in no problem at all when being fitted in the workshop.  Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️

As with Steve,
my new LOF clutch has bedded in and is going great - about 6k miles so far. Its a little bit noisy when in neutral and on tick over, but the rattle goes when the peddle is depressed It took a couple of goes to get the housings oil tight - so had to show the mechanics the info from the site on where to place the little blobs of sealant on the gasket before closing up - since then no issues ! (they should have listened to me the first time !) The LOF clutch feels the same as the previous original clutch and the new Ashcroft drive shaft seems to be more positive on acceleration. But I don’t tend to do fast pull aways with all the camper stuff on the back ! Poppy - TDCI (Puma) 110XS 2.2 - Camper conversion - see the build here - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic56530.html
