Title: Clutch relining on Mitsubishi J26 Jeep anyone?
Post by: Invicta on December 23, 2009, 04:26:56 PM

Firstly a Merry Christmas to one and all!
As the ground iss frozen I'm not out gardening and have started to think about getting this done as I've not had the time over the past 9 months. :)
Yes I know if it's not broken don't fix it - but as I need my Jeep daily during the growing season I'm thinking of doing a bit of preventative maintenance.
Has anyone any suggestions as to who I could contact to get the clutch either replaced or relined, preferably somewhere relatively local to me here in Tewkesbury?
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Incidentally the rear indicators off the Suzuki motorbike are still working fine and look the part. Thanks for the advice earlier this year.
Kind regards,
Bernard

I bet you wont find a part number for that in a clutch factors cataloge.

Best bet trawl the net for other owners, or a forum/webpage, then pick their brains for some part numbers and commonality with other mitsubishi models.

Try a Mitsubishi dealer. Just because a model isn't sold in the UK. doesn't mean they can't get parts.

I think you're just looking for an excuse to get up close and personal with a mitsu J26 Kev  :003:

Thanks for the tips/ideas.

Now that the 2nd gear is getting coy about engaging (queue Frankie Howard's back catalogue of sauce)
and the manual OverDrive prefers to jump from Direct into Neutral at every opportunity (I keep it in by hand - ohhhh don't titter) I think the Clutch might see light of day while the other problems are being looked into.
I can then see who can supply a replacement using photos, etc.

Hi and Low ratio gears are a bit sticky but nothing I wouldn't expect for the age (the J26 not me).

For those who are interested the 4 speed box is a column change - which makes getting any kind of "feel" an act of telepathy!  :icon_biggrin:
