Clutch slipping

Post by jpee »

Hi All.
Clutch has started slipping. Will I need a new clutch or just the clutchplate and release bearing?

Cheers
Never sure where I'm going till i get there.

You need what they call in the trade 'a three part clutch'.....centre friction plate, pressure plate and release bearing.
I would also recommend a spigot shaft bearing that fits in the end of the cranshaft (about £8.50) and if it's a petrol engine then a new oilite bush for supporting the starter end.
All available from Brickwerks.

Cheers. All I can see on Brickweks are for T3s and turbo diesels.

There actually isn't such thing as a T25, thats a rather quaint number us Brits have given the T3....so T3 is correct when looking for parts.
Brickwerks have all you need and only stock quality brands that they use in their own workshop.

I always fit my own clutches so as I know the history I usually fit full clutch then friction plate only the next time and back to full clutch etc. Been doing it for 30 odd years.
