Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hello guys,

Recently had my clutch replaced and to be honest not everybody know how to handle pajero's. And dont be more honest NEVER TRUST A RMI AGENT they can just be called back yard mechanics. So it left me with a sticky gear shift lever that sometimes struggles to go into gear, when I change from 1st to 2nd a noise almost like a "cluck" sound and the clutch is quite hard. The flywheel was also skimmed and seals where replaced.

Did anyone had the same problem before?? Any advise?

Hi Fielies

A friend of mine that specializes in Pajero's has done some work on my Pajero, recently replacing my ignition switch and I am sure he will be able to help you with the sticky gears, you can contact him on Ben Van Der Walt 0828765093.

Hello Liezl, where is he situated if I may ask?

Fielies,
I once had a problem like this on aToyota. It turned out that the engineering company that scheemed the flywheel made a mistake with the measurements. They did not take off the same amount of metal from the pressure plate boltdown contact area as they did from the face on the flywheel. This resulted in the pressure plate settling in a different possition relative to the clutch plate and then did not release (declutch) properly. You may find that selecting reverse gear very slowly with engine running my result in a degree of gear grating if the clutch does not release completely.

Have you tried bleeding the clutch?
