Gear/Clutch problems
Posted: 30 Oct 2011, 12:16
Hi, New to forum & my T25.
Have just recently brought a 1990 Westfalia California. This vehicle has had a upgraded engine from the original 1.6D to 1.9TDI (engine code AHU) but with original gearbox, every thing was going great, had our first three trips away no problem, when at home I have to leave vehicle on a step drive so always leave in reverse gear, anyway the next mourning I was unable to remove reverse gear without great effort after which I could not get reverse or first, on occasions reverse possible but clutch seems to be slipping.
I have looked into the engine conversion & have been informed the clutch should have been upgraded (BUT WHAT TO), this i appreciate due to the increase in torque from the TDI, what I dont understand is that I got no symptom of clutch slip on my previous travel.
Can any one help or inform me of a mechanic/garage in Leicester/Loughborough that deals with T25.
Many regards
