We did our Z28's clutch in by overheating leading to warpage doing about 13 quarter mile runs in the space of just a few hours. It finally disintegrated on the way up to Great Lakes Dragway for additional action. We were luck and , in retrospect, there was an abnormal feel to the clutch shortly after which it decended to the floor and would never to rise again except with urging of the side of my son's shoe. It was a stock clutch with less than 10,000 miles or so. So overzelous driving or clutch riding can prematurely age one. Paul,Evanston

From:David Jones [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 17 July 2012 14:59 To: mogtalk2 Subject: [mogtalk2] Clutch Issues Hi Chaps, I need some advice from those much more technically gifted than I. I have a 1998 4-4 with 30,000 miles on the clock. I took the Mog out today and noticed the clutch pedal travel seemed to be getting longer and longer, or to be more precise the take up of the clutch is very close to the floor. I guess it must be new clutch time, however in the past with other vehicles a slipping clutch was the sign of a worn out clutch and not pedal travel. That said, I had to replace the clutch on the Defender some time ago and if I recall that was also pedal travel rather than slipping. So a few questions, do the symptoms suggest a new clutch and is it an engine out job or can it be tackled from underneath? I have checked the fluid levels are they are fine.
