The cast fork may be fine but the pivot sockets and push rods are a different matter. They do wear and they do shatter and they do fall apart. I had no idea through the pedal or vehicle that this was the case.

That pin and fork had done 200k miles, providing they hadn't been replaced before my ownership that is.
They were A-Ok 20 months earlier when I stuck an LOF powerSpec clutch kit and flywheel in because... I was suffering from clutch judder that progressed to slip when powering up hill to join a local dual carriageway. Clutch had plenty of meat on it, bearing was good and the flywheel was replaced as it had done 200k miles and it was time. LOF kit cured it all. Well until 5th gear ate itself, the bearings and the layshaft... |

If you tow steer clear of the singlemass flywheel.. I went with the organic HD clutch and stuck with the dual mass. Tow heavy regularly with a well tuned vnt turbo with absolutely no issues. I also have the lof power spring and slave, which makes the pedal incredibly light.

We get some clutch judder with ours when its been parked up for a while, especially in cold/wet weather.
Clears after the first couple of times pulling away. Just come to accept its a feature of our TD5 The Puma defenders at the offroad centre I used to work at all used to do the same, especially if they had been out away wet. Chris |

Good suggestions re. the sources of contaminants which can get into the bell housing. I have had juddering but I suspect if the vehicle is just doing routine on-road work the friction surfaces can become glazed causing slight juddering, particularly when cold, as others have noted. I was able to cure mine by doing a number of starts from rest, & using second gear to start for a few days where the gradient permitted. This necessitated a bit more clutch slip & seemed to remove the glazing somewhat. I have been able to keep the clutch working quite smoothly using this procedure when necessary, once a year or so. Cheers, Lionel |
