First drive with Transit clutch. Feels much the same as the stock one did but no rattle for now. Pedal might be a touch heavier, but it's hard to say as ive been driving my daily hatchback with super light clutch for that 2 weeks. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Sounds like mine and that’s good. Thumbs Up

One of the things I notice now I’ve driven it a few months and few thousand miles is less slip than the Genuine version I think it handles the torque better and Pumas have quite high torque.

I’m hoping the springs will last better than LR too, on the last LR clutch I had a sling came out causing almost total failure, and the one before that was the earlier 2.4 slave that failed but was told the springs were very very loose.

On none of them, did they have the friction plate worn heavily but instead other failiures. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️

Mine has rattled for as long as Ive owned it, standard OE clutch. I've had a couple of people tell me the rattling is not always the clutch. It can be from the gearbox. Don't know how true it is, but they were both mechanics that said it.


It can be, but the most common culprit is the centre of the clutch being slightly loose, and clattering at idle when everything is hot. Usually the springs being loose. The different rattles can of course encourage each other - i.e. a bit of play in a less than perfect clutch centre might set up oscillations in the gearbox as well. ---

The time will son come to do the clutch again on my 2.4, when I did it originally I swapped to the later 2.2 release bearing.

I going down the Transit clutch route, as the OEM, Borg & Beck x2, were poor, Clutch Fix has been OK but is now jerky and rattly.

I will fit a new release bearing/cylinder but is there a need to change the adapter & valve as well?

Cheers Keith

Not sure about the this but I did notice when I replaced my clutch with a kit from lof that it came complete with the fittings that attach the slave to the bleed and then the little valve/adapter to connect to the hose fitting.. whilst the adapter may not have needed changing the internal bell housing fitting was a different .ie length to the connector.. I'm not sure if the slave release bearings come with their own connecting pipe..but the old and new on mine were not interchangeable, from memory anyway..

To be on the safe side I would only change the O´rings. Puma 110" SW

If you fit a later 2.2 slave on a 2.4, then you’ll need the later 2.2 valve and adaptor too.

That’s what I did, if you do have a 2.2 I would still go for new parts, these parts are not a job you want to go back over to do for obvious reasons. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️
