Hi guys, I would like to have an opinione on what happens to my Def. First of all it's a Defender 90 Td5 MY06 with 150.000km
The problem is that in winter when the car is cold, when I press the clutch pedal I hear a WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU that lasts as long as the clutch is pressed. This noise appears always, with the transmission in neutral , selecting short and long range.
During that noise is impossible to insert or remove any gear: if I try to insert a gear the sound increases and when the problem appears with a gear inside the car goes on as the cluch wasn't free.
To go on i try to put one random gear and after I can put 1st and go. In the worst cases there was no way to insert any gear so I had to turn off the car, put the gear and then turn the car on.
Once started, however, before I can make a few kilometers I have to make a couple of crosses in short distance: when I stop and I press the clutch bellows and the car continues to move forward so I have to brake and force a little to remove the gear.
Once the car is hot i don't have any kind of problem, gearbox and clutch work perfectly.
I have MTF94 fresh oil in gearbox and clutch fluid is correct, fresh and purged.
I heard that the problem is a ****ing bush (Spigot Bush 8566L LBF500050) and to fix it, in practice, you change the clutch in the meantime ... but, I mean, it seems to me something serious...
Am I the only one? What would you do?
Thanks
