the push rod has definitely not gone through the fork. i could see that when I took the slave off. could there be more wrong with the fork?

Unbolted the slave and found that the push rod had come off the fork whch explains the stuck pedal. I had ordered a new push rod and so decided to replace it. Found that the old one was about 6-8mm shorter!!!. Bolted the slave back on with the new push rod and got my clutch back. However the...

I'm considering buying an engine crane for work on my landy 200tdi. Is a 1 ton crane enough or should I go for a 2 ton one.

Warrior, how did you manage to get away with leaving the fuel lines on and how far did you have to move the engine to do your clutch?

Sam's picture thread is very good and involves removing the box. Would it not be less work to remove the engine and replace the clutch/fork.

I will need to split the engine and gearbox or pay £355 for a full clutch replacement. can some one please advise as whether is easier to remove the engine or the gearbox. If i do it myself I'll have to do it outside as I dont have a garage but I'm not in a hurry. Any advice would be appreciated.

Replaced master and slave cylinders recently. while out locally I was unable to engage 1st gear and then after some time the 2nd. Eventually managed to get it back home on 3rd but by this time although I was able to press the clutch pedal the clutch would not release. Thinking it needed to be...

Thanks for the information. I'll buy some 1/4 copper pipe from ebay but I cant seem to find any unions with a 9/16 unf thread. Any one know a supplier/seller

Thats useful to know. i assume the unions are a non metric thread and I'll have to get a couple of those. is the thread on on those 7/16 unf or is it 9/16? and is the thread the same at both ends but different gender.

i'v replaced master and slave clutch cylinders on my defender 200tdi. Ihave also replaced the rubber pipe that connects to the slave. Noticed that there is a small leak where the metal pipe from the master attaches to the rubber pipe. I have tried tightening (with difficulty as space is limited...

Hi, there managed to install the clip and push rod through the slave hole after trying for 2 hrs. Its not a very snug fit . Is that normal? Also I noticed that the arm travels a bit - about 3-4 mm when lightly pushed as a slave would. is that normal? please someone tell me I haven't got a...

Tried to put pressure by acting as a clutch slave myself as abcdedd suggested but very difficult so I built a tool to push the arm as a slave would do and managed to retrieve the push rod. That has saved me a lot of work. installed a new slave without the plastic clip to hold the push rod...

many thanks guys. Ive had a good look (as best as I coud) at the lever arm through the slave hole and it looks ok. the ball end of the rod seems to be stuch beween the edge of the arm lever and the housing. I'll have 1 more go at recovering this push rod before spliting the g/box. I'll let you...

I've never dropped a gear box on a landy. Is it a difficult job and can it be done with the engine still in? Any advice on how to approach this task?

The push rod has not dropped into the bell housing. It is still poking out of the slave hole. Tried recovering it with a long nose but no luck, it seems the ball end is stuck behind the lever arm.

JonneP, ...............because the ball end of the push rod is not located/seated correctly. There was no plastic clip to hold the push rod in place.

can someone please suggest a solution to my problem below: Decided to replace the clutch slave on my defender 200tdi. the old one came off easily but as the push rod was not held in place with the plastic clip it came off from its normal position. However, I'm unable to pull the push rod out...
