help newbie owner

Post by nexus »

i have just picked up a very nice 1990t25 komet. The 5 speed box seems a little stiff is this right? Also the clutch pedal only needs to be touched 10mm 9basically resting your foot on it) to disengage can it be adjusted as my clutch has started to slip really easily. last one for now it pulls to the left can this be cured easily? sorry if this sounds like a simpleton but this is my first t25 going from a splitty so its a bit alien. Oh engine is 1900 petrol 5 speed box. Any help mucho appreciated
Cheers
Mark

the stiffness could be the selector rods and their various joints
the clutch is hydraulically operated. There is some adjustment on the slave (not much)
check fluid level (under the dash pod)
I suspect a worn clutch or thrust bearing though.

As for the pulling
is there any obvious wear bias on the front tyres?
Have the van tracked then swap the fronts with each other.

mine pulls slightly to the left, it's a common thing, gets worse on heavily cambered roads
