The 'E' Type Forum

Hello everyone,
on my Jag type XKE 1R11489 from 11/14/1969 I hadn't been paying attention so far, but I looked at the assembly of the clutch slave cylinder and the control rod.compared to the inventory parts I do not have the return spring. Clutch Return Spring Plate C5178 and fork return spring C5120. I don't know if it's specific on this model but it looks weird to me. how to prevent Clutch Release Bearing from staying in contact in this case?

Its the same arrangement on S1-S2 so I don't know what you are asking ?

For a short perion Jaguar used a clutch slave cylinder that ddint use an external return spring....the cylinder was self adjusting......they stoped useing this and reverted back to a cylinder with an external spring that needed agjusting.....details are in tbe service manual and this posf is worth looking at....Steve viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14977&p=124923&hili ... ic#p124923

exhibit 17 and 18 that I don't have on my car.
Thanks to Steve for showing me the link to consult

Thanks Gerry, so if I understand correctly the hydrostatic long does not need a return spring?

To be honest and the difficulty in replaceing a worn out thrust bearing i would advise anyone to fit an external return spring and adjust correctly at regukar service intervals.......Steve

yes, disassembling the engine and gearbox to replace a simple clutch release bearing is not my favorite sport. So I am going to adjust a return spring, this is the advice of an experienced sage.
