Hi Jon....should be quite easy to see whats going on by useing an endescope to look inside the bellhouseing...fairly cheap.....Steve Steve, yes I've been poking around in there, still very hard to see the top half of the clutch fork / TOB where the retainer pin is, bottom is easily visible through ...

Er...no, the friction plate is ( or should be) stationary when the pedal is depressed. I hadn't realised this was a gear grinding noise. Christopher, no the noise is something rubbing in the clutch, inside the bellhousing. I was saying if trying to put into gear, the gears grind. In the video, I am...

Peculiar : does this happen only with the vehicle stationary and in neutral ? Or also when changing gear on the move ? And is it really a grind, as in a grind of gears, or a rub ? Yes, after startup. Even with pedal fully depressed, the clutch wasn't engaged so trying to put into gear resulted in a...

Greetings E-Type UK! Looking for help diagnosing a clutch grind It will be a while before I can pull the engine and have a look, so seeing if there's any ideas here. 1970 Series II The main points: - Something rotating rubbing something stationary when pedal depressed (metallic) - Grind stops when p...

If you're looking for comments on atheistics, it's got to be about the super wide Series 2 rubber bumper to body seal. Far from worrying if the number plate is straight, change that rubber strip for the Series 1 narrow one today. :bigrin: John, thanks for pointing that out. The wife wanted to take ...

Looks nice @politeperson,

Mine is 1R27089, not far off.

However, the original color of mine, was light blue. My grandfather had it repainted in the late 70s, preferring the silver, which is a correct XKE color, like yours.

MadJack - Yes this seems to be the case. Update: Today I again disconnected the slave cylinder actuator arm from the clutch fork, but this time pushed the arm into the slave cylinder by hand as far as it would go and realized it traveled in further than when the pin is in and it's connected to the c...

" loosened the nut on it and screwed in the flange to shorten it, which should push the friction plate closer to the drive plate." Mich - I would think there would be some kind of noise if there was oil on the driven plate causing it to slip against the surfaces, rather than silence and just free re...

The actuator arm does move in and out when clutch pedal pushed. First thing today I pumped some new fluid through the system. With it full and bled, disconnected the actuator arm from the fork that moves the release bearing, loosened the nut on it and screwed in the flange to shorten it, which shoul...

'70 SII Coupe: Started the car after one year of sitting (started right up! (live in Los Angeles and car is in Florida)), engaged reverse ready to go for a spin, eased clutch all the way out, nothing.... Can put it in any gear. Clutch pedal feels good and firm. Pumped it awhile, tried all gears but ...
