I have an 'M' Peugeot 405 TurboDiesel and the clutch pedal action is very heavy, but the clutch itself seems to engage and release O.K. I would have thought that slipping and/or binding would be the signs of a worn clutch. Are pedal problems a sign that it is nearing the limit of the self adjustment? TIA Dave R P.S. how much of a job is a Pug 405 clutch? ><snip> >> >he advised me to change clutch itself reason being the plastic clip [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >P.S. how much of a job is a Pug 405 clutch? A heavy pedal doesn't necessarily mean a worn clutch. Could be the pressure plate has gone heavy due to the "time"factor--it is, what, 10 years old if original. Or the release bearing arm pivot points in the bell housing start to seize up. They are plastic and get filled with clutch dust and moisture. Just a case of cleaning out and a coating of copaslip. Obviously while the clutch is out check the linings and gauge how much life is left. Having said all that it COULD still be the cable, and I have had to change a couple in the past when the above didn't fully cure the heaviness. Quite easy to do when the box is out. |
