[T2] Binding Clutch

[Joseph Delecki]

If you decide to drop your engine and investigate and repair your clutch related problem, may I suggest that when doing so you
also consider the replacement of your present clutch housing with the newer version using a release bearing guide sleeve.
See the parts diagram section five Bentley  , 15.4 Engine and Clutch (page 50) . It is a more robust version of the earlier
release bearing mount without the sleeve . I once had the early release bearing mount (without sleeve) on my 1600 cc. engine with stock transmission and was able to easily make the upgrade.  Perhaps you already have this type of housing and I am also assuming you have  a 1600 cc engine.

If you do make the housing upgrade, it also presents an opportunity to easily renew the rear driveshaft oil seal.

Subject: [T2] Binding Clutch

’70 bus
Replaced clutch with diaphragm assembly and new throw-out 15 years ago.
Replaced cable 3 years ago.
Shifting became difficult causing frequent tightening of cable.
Cable is now full tight (minimal free play) with full travel of throw-out
arm, but clutch will not completely disengage.
Must be diaphragm fingers are bending, or some other internal problem.
Any other thoughts on the subject.
