Trucks a 2002 TD and has done 110,000k.
Recently noticed shifting up and down to 2nd is getting more difficult and it certainly doesn't like going into reverse.
Clutch adjustment at pedal looks to be close to it's maximum.
About to drive 5000ks across the middle from west to east and would really like to avoid transmission problems in the middle of nowhere.
Anyone familiar with this symptom?
John

Good morning
John.
I have just went through this same thing with my Toyota, and had the clutch, and the pressure plate changed, also changed the spigot bearing, and a new thrust bearing came with the kit, so don't let them charge you for it,also i changed the slave cylinder and the master cylinder, all new and nothing will go wrong as you will be doing 5000ks across Australia, i would hate to stop out their some ware with clutch problems, the cost of getting towed back would cover the fitting of a new clutch, enjoy your trip.
Cheers for now...William H...Bunbury...WA.

Thks William, problem sounds expensive?
Do you know why it occurs. Thought it would last longer than 110k.

Like to say a big thanks for your help today Bill, much appreciated.
Hope to return the favour someday. Sounds like your mate can sort things out for me at a very reasonable price.
Many thanks again, owe you a beer.
