Clutch

I had aproblem changing gear, had to pumb brake pedal to get in gear Ok for a while changing gear then had to pump the pedal again. Decided to bleed the clutch at the slave cylinder, took for a test drive started off ok then had problem engaging gear....... drove up a slight incline put into 4 gear and landy did not move tried 3rd gear no good, just about pulled of in 2nd gear. Do you think the clutch has worn out or is their oil getting to it ?

S2 doesnt have snychromesh so slowing down can help match engine/GB speed

It should of been `pump the clutch pedal` its been a hectic week.

I Have removed the slave and checked seals all ok re-bleed system, took landy out for a drive, the clutch was ok for a couple off miles then it would not change gear. pumped the clutch pedal and managed to get into gear. I think it must be the master cylinder ( seals leaking ) what do you think... ?

If you're having to pump the pedal then there is air in the system. If the master cylinder seals are leaking then you will find oil on the arm of the clutch pedal. Have a look underneath to see if oil is leaking from the slave cylinder or the flexible hose. You have of course checked the oil level! If all looks well then bleed it. If that doesn't work you'll have to pull it all to bits.

I have removed both slave cylinder and master clutch cylinder, both look ok, I decided to pop in at the Landrover Orfanage ( 5 miles away ) to get seal kits for both.
The seal kit for noth did not look right, got home and I think that both cylinders are not correct ?

Clutch master cylinder has stambed on the body ' 3/4 64677681'. ?
Slave cylinder has ' S 02'. ?

The slave cylinder looks the same as for a series 3 ?

The picture ive seen of a series 2 slave cylinder looks as though it fits further in by a inch or more ?

Maybe this is why clutch is not working as the push rod on the slave cylinder is not moving far enough.

Ive now found out i have a clutch of a series 3 ! so slave cylinder is ok.
The master cylinder is still a mistery though.
