Got an ln167 luxy. Clutch is an exedy HD with about 50,000 on it, feels and worked great. Has new clutch fork and throwout bearing.

Few weeks ago i was driving and all of a sudden struggled to go into gear. I adjusted the pedal for more throw and it was all good again. Now its completely gone. I replaced master and slave and bled two whole bottles through! Still no go. When I first got the problem i remember driving at about 100ks and hearing a loud snapping sort of sound from what sounded like the front right, but thinking maybe the bell housing. (something snapped and flying around inside?) it sometimes happens pulling away in gear and even got it to do it one time by revving in neutral.

It seems like the clutch fork has moved back towards the slave cyl over the past few weeks if that helps.

Any ideas!?

Cheers

You are going to have to separate the box from the block and have a look.



The Roo.

Thats the plan, half way there. Worried about how im gonna get box off and back on with only a couple of trolley jacks though

I usually have mine balancing on one jack. Unbolt it, roll the whole thing back so ya can get in there and jack the gearbox up against the floor of the ute so it doesn't run away. Then just lower it and roll it back on.

Every component looks fine. Pivot. Fork. Clutch. I dont understand what could have worn over matter of weeks for the throwout to slowly move further and further from the pressure plate.

turned out to be pressure plate. Finger height was about 3mm out toward gearbox more than a new one. Obviously enough to make a diff unless it was the spring pivot or something. Thanks for the help fellas.
