Having a few problems with the new clutch on the van
The story goes, last time it was on the road all of a sudden i couldnt select gears with engine running after a hard flat out run. I could select gears when engine was switched off & change whilst on move with no clutch. Took engine out & as suspected the plate was shot, one of the springs had departed.
I have fitted new 4 paddle ap plate, used original valeo green box pressure plate.
The problem i have now, is i cant select gears when engine is running if clutch pedal is fully down However i can get it into gear fine with engine running if pedal is only half way down? It drives ok at that but its not right by far..
The box will select gears fine when turned off/clutch pedal half down. The bite is near half way/top. I have slipped the ratchet numerous times/used without pedal stop/even shimmed cable with no joy.
Im 99.9999% sure the plate is in the right way, the ap plate even had flywheel side marked on it but its been a few weeks since fitted.
The pivot bush for the arm is as good as new, release arm is fine i checked them whilst it was in bits.
The cable is genuine renault, The pedal/ratchet is gen renault & was renewed a couple of thousand miles back.
The question is this a cable fault or is it box off time to inspect the plate/splines etc, Thoughts all?
