Help Please

[giz1978]

hi,

i was wondering if you can help. i have a c3 1.4 hdi on a 04 plate.

the clutch bearing blown up, i have replaced the clutch with a gen clutch kit (twice) but there is no drive, as if the engine is running you can not put it in to gear until you press the clutch, but on the flat it will move the car but when you rev it, it just feels like the clutch is slipping. i have put two clutchs in it and the same happens.

when the box was out it went in gear and moved the outputs from the diff but under load nothing.

plus when the wheels are off the ground you can put it in gear, hold the brakes and the speedo goes up.

can you help or any advise please

A few general questions that may help (I have not done a C3 clutch):

- did the car drive ok before clutch replacement ?

- were the replacement clutch kits identical to the old one including thickness of plate and bearing ?

- why did the old bearing fail and did it cause any damage or wear ?

- is the gearbox going fully into gear when using the gear lever - if not the lever mechanism may need adjusting.

- is the slave cylinder installed properly and not holding the clutch partly dipped ?
