Hi
I have searched the net, and am fairly familiar with clutch judder on the land rover from a previous vehicle, but still feel i need your opinions please.
Had my 95 defender 90 a few months now. And in that time havent exerienced any clutch judder untill this week. Taking up drive has been faultless.
The past week, the land rover is juddering quite badly, only when its cold. 10 miles would rectify it and the clutch would feel perfect with no issues. There is a little bit of oil seeping out the bell housing, but nothing drastic, a small spot on the drive over night.
Could the clutch be getting contaminated by this small amount of oil? Or could there be anything else causing it?
Im currently using 10w/40 semi synthetic oil, which is only a cheap euro car parts own brand, and it appears very thin when pouring. I woundered if it was too thin, and i require a better 15w/40? Would it prevent some of the leaks occurring from the engine? And as a result save my clutch?
Many thanks guys!
