My series 2 gtst isn't going into gear while engine is running. Clutch pedal feels like the pressure is gone and is spongy . Looked at fluid levels on the master cylinder they are fine. Slave seems to be operating correctly. If started in 5th with clutch out it stalls immediately so I think clutch is ok. I'm thinking the clutch fork maybe ? Or the ball joint thingamajig. Clutch wont engage when engine is on..Any suggestions or anyone had the same happen.

One of my mates is coming round to help me bleed the system tomorrow or Wednesday.  I read the guide on bleeding all 3 sections of the clutch lines . Sounds like a pain but hey that's the joys of an RB hey. Will look at deleting return line with braided line to make it easier next time 

 

So I bled the clutch to no avail. The pedal box isn't broken. Slave is operating. Nothing leaking from master cylinder. I noticed that when running, there is a squeaking sound and a slight vibration when clutch is pushed. Any thoughts before I pull the box out.

If the slave looks to be pushing the clutch rod the full throw when you put your foot on the clutch then it sounds like your clutch fingers might be bent and the clutch is not fully disengaging.  Unlikely to be the fork or the pivot ball, they're both pretty heavy duty parts.  Sounds like box out sorry mate!

Actually I've snapped my pivot before, there could be a chance! 

Undo the slave and see of the fork moves properly and is seated properly

And I've done my fork lol - so there you go.

 

Ha ha, I'll just shut up then!!  I've never seen either in my 20+ years in the industry!!!  Maybe the cars at my work are all driven like nanna would and don't get smashed through the gears enough!

Thanks for the replys fellas. Have a new heavy duty ready to go in anyway just going to bite the bullet in the next couple of weeks and change her over. Will take some photos of it and see how farked it was. Gonna be a long day under the car .

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
