FAULT DIAGNOSIS
CLUTCH ASSEMBLY CONDITIONS
For the clutch to operate correctly as described and
illustrated in the "Description and Operation", it is
important the following conditions are satisfied:-
A. The primary shaft 15 must be free in the
crankshaft spigot bush 17.
B. The friction plate 2 must be able to slide easily
on the splines on the primary shaft 15, to a
position where it does not contact either the
flywheel or the pressure plate.
C. The friction plate must not be distorted or the
linings contaminated with oil, which may cause it
to stick or continue to run in contact with the
flywheel or pressure plate.
A number of faults can develop in the operation of the
clutch for a variety of reasons and although most
faults are due to normal wear at high mileage,
problems can also occur if the unit has been renewed
by an unskilled operator.
Recognising and diagnosing a particular clutch fault is
therefore of paramount importance in ensuring, that
the problem is rectified at the first attempt.
Problems which develop in the clutch are as follows:-
A. Clutch spin/drag
B. Clutch slip
C. Clutch judder/fierce
CLUTCH SPIN - DRAG
Symptoms
Clutch spin is that, with engine running and clutch
pedal depressed, the gears cannot be immediately
engaged without making a grinding noise. This
indicates the clutch is not making a clean break.
However, if the clutch pedal is held depressed for
several seconds the friction plate will eventually break
free from the engine and the gear will engage silently.
Clutch spin as it becomes more severe develops into
clutch drag, making the silent engagement of a gear
impossible, regardless of how long the pedal is held
depressed.
CLUTCH SLIP
Symptoms
Clutch slip is most evident climbing a hill or when the
vehicle is moving off from stationary with a heavy
load. As the clutch is released slip occurs between the
engine and the transmission, allowing the engine
speed to increase without a corresponding increase in
vehicle speed.
Clutch slip can develop to the stage where no power
is transmitted through the clutch as the pedal is
released.
CLUTCH JUDDER - FIERCE
Symptoms
Clutch judder or fierce engagement, like slip, is most
likely to occur when the vehicle is moving off from
stationary. As the clutch pedal is released the vehicle
will move rapidly or in a series of jerks, which can not
be controlled even by careful operation of the clutch
by the driver.
It should be noted that a vehicle may display all the
symptoms or any combination of the symptoms
described, depending on the driving conditions vehicle
load and operating temperatures.

CLUTCH NOISE - MECHANICAL FAULTS
Noise from clutch or gearbox in neutral, which
disappears when clutch is depressed.
Suspect gearbox input/primary shaft bearings.
See MANUAL GEARBOX, Fault diagnosis,
Manual Gearbox
- Noise from gearbox in neutral, which
disappears when clutch is depressed
Noise from clutch or gearbox in neutral, which
changes tone or becomes worse when the clutch
is depressed.
Suspect worn release bearing.
Knocking/rattling from clutch or gearbox in
neutral, which is reduced or disappears when the
clutch is depressed.
Suspect worn/weak release lever retainer or
clutch unit.
Noise from clutch or gearbox in neutral, which
disappears when clutch is depressed.
Suspect gearbox fault.
See MANUAL GEARBOX, Fault diagnosis,
Manual Gearbox
- Noise from gearbox in neutral, which
disappears when clutch is depressed.
HYDRAULIC FAULTS
Unable to dis-engage clutch, little or no pedal
resistance.
1. Check condition, specification and level of fluid.
2. Check pipes and cylinders for leaks.
3. Check that air vent in reservoir lid is clear.
Suspect faulty master cylinder if no fluid leaks
present.
See Repair, Master Cylinder
Spongy pedal operation
1. Check condition, specification and level of fluid.
2. Check that air vent in reservoir lid is clear.
Suspect air in fluid.
See Repair, Bleed Hydraulic System
Clutch is difficult to dis-engage and/or does not
immediately re-engage when pedal is released.
1. Check condition, specification and level of fluid.
2. Check that air vent in reservoir lid is clear.
Suspect pedal pivot, master cylinder or slave
cylinder seizure.

REPAIR
BLEED HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Service repair no - 33.15.01
Procedure
NOTE: During bleed procedure, keep fluid
reservoir topped up to avoid introducing
air to system. For hydraulic fluid
recommendations.
See LUBRICANTS, FLUIDS
AND CAPACITIES, Information, Recommended
Lubricants and Fluids
1. Attach suitable tubing to slave cylinder bleed
screw.
2. Place free end of tube in a glass jar containing
clutch fluid.
3. Loosen bleed screw.
4. Pump clutch pedal, pausing at end of each
stroke, until fluid from tubing is free of air.
Keeping free end of tube below surface of fluid.
5. Hold clutch pedal down, tighten bleed screw.
6. Top up fluid reservoir.
MASTER CYLINDER
Service repair no - 33.20.01/03

and joints should be tightened to
15 Nm.
Remove
1. Evacuate hydraulic fluid from system.
2. Disconnect fluid pipe at master cylinder. Plug
