I gubbed my clutch good style.
It feels like it is still in gear or something that should be turning isn't.

Gear stick in neutral, clutch pedal up or down engine stalls.
Transfer box in neutral clutch pedal up engine does not stall.
Clutch down engine stalls and a horrible gear teeth/splines not mating sort of going to cost money kind of sound.

Gear selection stiff, but selector seems to move to correct positions when engine running and transfer box in neutral.
 
Prior to this 3rd and 4th was a little crunchy going in if I was not taking care to match the revs.

Thoughts?

It's knackered.

There might be a load of mud in it causing the problem, try to get a jetwash lance into the ckutch housing and see if you can clear it out.

Hose in clutch as soon as I got home tonight.
 
It may well be knackered, but if I don't give it a good blasting and it was only mud I would feel a bit of a f*nny.

My guess is it has something to do with 2ft of mud.

I don't suppose the mud would have helped any.

Just a thought though..... Why is there not an access panel to let you get a hose or power washer in where it can do some good?

It is fecking hard to tell if you are doing any good or not.

Yup.... took the slave cylinder out to get the power washer in, and clear water being discharged.

Not exactly a perfect access point but the best available.

No noticable difference when the cylinder replaced.

Much fubarness methinks.  :cry:
