CLUTCH
1
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION DESCRIPTION
The clutch unit fitted with the manual transmission,
comprises a single dry plate friction disc and
diaphragm spring clutch unit, secured to the engine
flywheel.OPERATION
The unit is operated hydraulically by the clutch master
cylinder 12 and a slave cylinder 13 attached to the
transmission bell housing.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION When the clutch pedal is depressed, hydraulic fluid
transmits the movement via the slave cylinder, release
lever 10, bearing 9, to the inner fingers of the
diaphragm spring 4.
The diaphragm spring 4 pivots on the bearing rings 7
and fulcrum posts 6 causing the pressure plate 5 to
release the clamping force on the friction plate and
linings 2.As the the clamping force is removed from the friction
plate 2, the plate slides on the splines of the primary
shaft 15 and takes up a neutral position between the
flywheel 1 and the pressure plate 5 , thus breaking the
drive between the engine and the gearbox.
NOTE: Diesel engined vehicles have an
hydraulic damper 19 fitted into the system.
The damper contains a steel diaphragm
which absorbs slight hydraulic pulses caused by
cyclic variations of the diesel engine crankshaft at
low rpm.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS CLUTCH ASSEMBLY CONDITIONS
For the clutch to operate correctly as described and
illustrated in the "Description and Operation", it is
important the following conditions are satisfied:-
A. The primary shaft 15 must be free in the
crankshaft spigot bush 17.
B. The friction plate 2 must be able to slide easily
on the splines on the primary shaft 15, to a
position where it does not contact either the
flywheel or the pressure plate.
C. The friction plate must not be distorted or the
linings contaminated with oil, which may cause it
to stick or continue to run in contact with the
flywheel or pressure plate.
A number of faults can develop in the operation of the
clutch for a variety of reasons and although most
faults are due to normal wear at high mileage,
problems can also occur if the unit has been renewed
by an unskilled operator.
Recognising and diagnosing a particular clutch fault is
therefore of paramount importance in ensuring, that
the problem is rectified at the first attempt.
Problems which develop in the clutch are as follows:-
A. Clutch spin/drag
B. Clutch slip
C. Clutch judder/fierceCLUTCH SPIN - DRAG
Symptoms
Clutch spin is that, with engine running and clutch
pedal depressed, the gears cannot be immediately
engaged without making a grinding noise. This
indicates the clutch is not making a clean break.
However, if the clutch pedal is held depressed for
several seconds the friction plate will eventually break
free from the engine and the gear will engage silently.
Clutch spin as it becomes more severe develops into
clutch drag, making the silent engagement of a gear
impossible, regardless of how long the pedal is held
depressed.
CLUTCH SLIP
Symptoms
Clutch slip is most evident climbing a hill or when the
vehicle is moving off from stationary with a heavy
load. As the clutch is released slip occurs between the
engine and the transmission, allowing the engine
speed to increase without a corresponding increase in
vehicle speed.
Clutch slip can develop to the stage where no power
is transmitted through the clutch as the pedal is
released.
CLUTCH JUDDER - FIERCE
Symptoms
Clutch judder or fierce engagement, like slip, is most
likely to occur when the vehicle is moving off from
stationary. As the clutch pedal is released the vehicle
will move rapidly or in a series of jerks, which can not
be controlled even by careful operation of the clutch
by the driver.
It should be noted that a vehicle may display all the
symptoms or any combination of the symptoms
described, depending on the driving conditions vehicle
load and operating temperatures.

REPAIR CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
Service repair no - 33.10.01
Clutch pressure plate
Renew pressure plate if diaphragm spring fingers are
worn or if pressure plate shows signs of wear, cracks
or burning.
Clutch driven plate
Renew driven plate if centre hub splines are worn or if
lining is contaminated, burned or unevenly worn.
Service tools:
Clutch centralising tool

Remove
1.Remove gearbox.
See MANUAL GEARBOX,
Repair, R380 Manual Gearbox
2.Mark position of clutch cover to flywheel for
reassembly.
3.Remove clutch cover securing bolts, working
evenly and diagonally.

Refit
NOTE: To prevent clutch plate sticking,
lubricate splines using Rocol MV 3 or
Rocol MTS 1000 grease.
7.Renew/refit clutch driver plate and clutch
assembly using centralising tool, where
applicable, align assembly marks.

TRANSFER GEARBOX
1
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION LT230T TRANSFER BOX
The LT230T transfer box is a permanent 4 wheel
drive, two speed ratio reducing gearbox incorporating
high and low range outputs with mechanically lockable
centre differential (diff-lock). High/low range and
diff-lock selection are made via a single lever located
forward of the main gear lever.
A shiftlock device is fitted in some territories, it is used
as a park facility and prevents accidental gear
disengagement when the ignition is switched off. An
audible neutral alarm is also fitted. This alerts the
driver when parking to move the gear lever to the high
or low position.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Power flow
1st gear D selected
With D selected 1st gear engaged, clutches 4 and 11 are operative. The front planet gear carrier of gear set 9 is
locked against the housing through freewheel 15 when the engine is pulling but freewheels when the vehicle is
coasting. Epicyclic gear set 10 rotates as a solid unit with the front planet gear carrier. In selector position 1 with
1st gear engaged, clutch 8 operates to prevent the loss of drive on the overrun through freewheel 15, to provide
engine braking.
2nd gear D selected
Clutches 4, 6, 7 and 11 are engaged. Freewheel 15 overruns, the hollow shaft with the sun wheel of epicyclic gear
set 9 is locked. Epicyclic gear set 10 also rotates as a solid unit.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 3rd gear D selected
Clutches 4, 5, 7 and 11 are engaged. Freewheel 15 and 16 are overrun. Epicyclic gear set 9 and 10 rotate as a
solid unit at a ratio of 1:1.
4th gear D selected
Clutches 4, 5, 7 and 12 are engaged. Freewheel 14, 15 and 16 are overrun. Epicyclic gear set 9 rotates as a solid
unit. The hollow shaft with the sun wheel of epicyclic gear set 10 is locked.
Above a predetermined road speed, clutch 2 locks the gearbox power input direct to the engine, by-passing the
torque converter.
