300tdi clutch problem

Had a bit of a problem with my clutch. slight juddering whn depressing pedal and jerkiness when pulling away, accompanied by a grinding noise when slipping the clutch. So I decided it wa time for a noo clutch.

This was me 110 at 10 OClock. This morning.


This was it 4hrs later



Friction plate has lost it's Friction



Pressure Plate is fooked where the rivets have gouged 2 grooves. springs are fooked and so is release bearing



Flywheel has cracked thru and is fooked



Sipog bush has seen better days



I reckon There's a few thousand miles left on it But BB reckons not

Strangely enough It drove fine apart from a slight juddering when taking up drive??

poof 10 thousand left in that the short legs caused the judder

So ya reckon +6" blocks on the pedals then?? It already has +4" liftblocks on it

Just go over the flywheel with a disc grinder......it'll be fine

thats very poor ,its been awhile since ive seen a flywheel as bad as that one ,thats had some misuse prior to plate disintergrating

Used to belong to a Farmers son, who did Agricultural welding, fabrication & repairs. Probably been ragged round half the fields in Somerset & Wiltshire.

I couldn't believe it was still driving fine. apart from a slight judder when depressing pedal.

Does look like you have caught it before too much damage has been done....

? you cant get much more worse than that

You can if the flywheel breaks JM

I've pikied the Flywheel off BB's old 200Tdi Engine... Just don't tell him..
