Nearing the end of a mammoth self build first van build and just started putting the cab together. (Done the metal work, paint, engine.....hours spent)
Fitted the pedals and thought the clutch seemed very weak, very easy to push down, didn't feel right?
Went to the back to pull manually on the arm and I could hear the clutch peddle moving, did notice there was no more adjustment on it, lever seemed to stop after a couple of inches or so of movement.
Went to cab put in gear rocked it forward till it stopped, pushed the clutch in with my hand and rocked forward again, no free wheeling, ie not releasing. Did it a few times to check, but on my own makes it awkward. Tried the same thing by manually pulling the clutch lever and nudging the van with one hand and both knees! Same not freewheeling.ahhhh
So has anyone got any checks or tips before I drop the engine to check inside!
Can't tell you what a pain it is, did 9 hours on it today and finished with that!ahh
Can some kind person give me a rundown on all possible causes and what to do to fix.
Thanks
