Hi Everyone,
I appreciate the help as always and find the forum to be a great asset for my landy, that being said.
Last fall I swamped my Land Rover after I had just installed factory locked hubs...classic, fix something and then another thing breaks. I was in some pretty thick mud and eventually winched myself out when the car decided to turn back on after I didn't rev the engine for winch power the first time (obvious carbeurator issues)..long story short I got it home and a week later she doesn't want to move.
I noticed a dripping M/C so I replaced it. The fuild was very dirty, as if the 40 year old seals had become one with the hydraulic fuild. Any recconmendations on nut settings? The original was five clicks down from the smoothed rod where it meets the clutch arm.
I then replace the Slave Cylinder, in comparison to the new the piston the old one was very easy to push back and forth even getting stuck on the bottom sometimes. I did notice that it was dripping out of the main nut, I am going to re-check that the flar is sitting on the slave properly and isn't bent or cox-eyed.
My quesiton is, if it is not the MC adjustment or leaking fluid out of the Slave...where do I trouble shoot to next?
It does shift through the gears when turned off, I read/heard it would be a tranny issue if I can't cycle through gears when turned off. I have also been told that makes no difference?
Not sure where to go from here but I sure would appreciate the advice...Thanks everyone
