clutch iisues

hello
been having a problem for some time now, last year my master cylinder went so i replaced that but never seemed right as was getting a kick when going into 1st and sometimes 2nd i bleed the clutch but still same so i assumed clutch was on its way out.

anyway about 10 months later clutch slave went so i changed the complete clutch whilst i had box off and put it all back together but still had same issue of slight kick going into the low gears so i bleed it all again, but still same i have now changed the master again twice and now wont go into first at all whilst engine running.

i changed the linkage bars but still nothing.

but smooth with engine off i have never had any grinding or crunching whilst changing gears

i did at one point think gear box f***ed but surely it would of gotten worse driving it approx 10000 miles but it didnt. thought overfilled gearbox but drain a little out but was ok.

any ideas as really stuck with ideas now

cheers

I had to get rid of an old freelander because of exaclty this problem.

Bit late, but just picked up on this problem. Had total mare (4 days and gearbox in and out 5 times!) with the one same thing. New master and slave cylinder fitted at the same time as good quality clutch disc and cover. After bleeding just could not get a gear although would start in gear. In the end I cut the red plastic transit keeper clip to size to fit behind the slave to space it closer to the clutch cover. Not right but good result. When you lift gearbox back on, I found that just by fitting 2 bolts to secure box to engine (one of the awkward ones behind the IRD and one opposite) then you can fit IRD to enable the drive to turn with the clutch pedal pressed.
