The clutch on my Jackaroo has stopped working. The pedal went down without disengaging the clutch and having pulled the pedal back up it will no longer go down.
Master cylinder has correct level of fluid, no detectable leaks.
I've removed the inspection cover where the slave cylinder goes into the bell housing. The fork (on the outside) is against the pressure plate. It clearly isn't pulling(?) against anything in the centre of the clutch. The fork is pivoting normally on its pivot pin.
Having looked at the workshop manual, it appears the clutch is disengaged by the release bearing pulling the cover plate diaphragm spring. It seems that there is a breakage in whatever connects the release bearing to the diaphragm spring.
Am I on the right track? If so, can this be fixed without taking the pressure plate off - I can't work out what connects the release bearing to the diaphragm spring?
Any help appreciated!!
