The clutch fork is a huge cast item (same as the V8 5 speed uses), so there is no HD version... it's plenty HD enough, unlike the pressed tin Tdi one.
I need to do my clutch in the summer. Might opt to pull the engine out instead, as i've not got a pit or ramps to work under, but do have an engine crane. Your clutch slave cylinder will need to come off too, as that bolts into the bellhousing, and unplug the crank position sensor (might pay to take it off, only one small bolt, to save it getting bashed by the flywheel) |

Ahh right, I thought the clutch fork was something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330486580269 (EDIT this is not for a TD5)
I forgot about the slave cylinder and the Crank sensor The clutch change will be done on the floor 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock Last edited by excossack on 19th Mar 2012 8:24pm. Edited 1 time in total |

If you are taking flywheel off, I would change rear oil seal, don't ask "why", as this is a very painful topic at the moment. I would also change slave and master cylinders, and spigot bush, (just split old one to get it out).
And from personal experience, I would seal top of bell housing to engine block with silli sealer. This would stop contamination from FPR failures, and leaky rocker box gaskets. Don't forget to disconnect the breathers for both boxes. Andy |

^^^^^ That's for a Tdi, you can see it's pressed out of thin metal (hence the welded on "HD" bit) This is a Td5 one:  |

So really its probably not worth swapping the arm?
If I go for the rear oil seal, will I have to drop the engine oil? 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |

I would put a new arm in, or certainly get a price for one.
Don't think you will have to remove oil to change the seal. I would change everything that you can whilst in there. My boxes have been off more times than I care to remember, (at least five times), fitted new clutch a few times, bushes, arm, rod clips, DMF, and now my rear oil seal is leaking causing clutch slip AGAIN. So I would say do it well, and do it only once. Andy |

Take the engine out not the gearbox, much much easier to do, more room to work and much more room to do the flywheel.

Parts ordered from LR Dealer. Reading the Haynes manual, to replace the rear main oil seal I need to remove the sump?
and according to the book, I need to tighten the DMF bolts to Stage 1 - 40nm Stage 2 - angle tighten a further 90 deg? Is that the same as 1/4 turn? 1999 Defender TD5 110 Regards John M0VAZ Econet Station 48 no clock |
