hi all have just dropped gear box out to find the clutch cover missing some of the fork thing so do I go dmf or smf any help appreciated

That is normal on a DMF clutch cover. If you look at what is there of the forks that are missing, they have not snapped... its manufactured that way.

do you think the release bearing fork is damaged been having difficult get it in to gear when engine is running can't get it to go in to revers or could it be the slave cylinder any help appreciated

On my old Cordoba with the 1.9 TDI I had to adjust the selector twice, once it got so bad it nearly refused to go in to reverse at all. There is a guide somewhere. I'd try that first as its free!

I took the gear box out today the fork for the release bearing has damage at the top and bottom of it you can see it in the pictures and there is metal bits in the gear box housing have not check it yet .back a bit sore just now

that lever with wear should be fine when u put new clutch in. check that the lever pivotsokay on the ball pivot.

i reckon your gear mis selection could be worn bushes on yourlinkage. check out the spring/lever mechanism witht the little whitebushesand check for wear

wil have a look tomorrow there was a clicking noise when the clutch was not pressed in but a soon as you pressed it in the clicking would stop .also could not put in to gear with engine running had to start it in gear with clutch pressed in ,you just had to let clutch up about a inch and it would bit

something was deffo wrong with yoir clutch then.

it will be good to replace it. possibly the diagraphm spring had something to do with clicking/rubbing

just thinking could be gearbox, assuming its not the gear box then fitting a clutch and checking the linkage over, dont suppose it could have something to do with the clutch slave cylinder

will have a look tomorrow you can see damage on the release bearing fork any way of checking the slave cylinder

so just been out to check the master and slave cylinder for leaks all clear as far as I can see,then went to check the release bearing and fork the cover of the bearing just came right off so could this be the problem any thoughts cheers

hi just been out check the release bearing fork going to have to get a new one just noticed it has cracks in it clutch seems ok so going to change just the bearing and fork see how it go's

just a wee update new release bearing and fork fitted job was not as hard as I thought it would be ,only a couple things I had to do before starting the job .i had to make my own engine brase I used cargo straps to hold the engine in place and to hold the gear box could not use my trolly jack to lift the gearbox up because my driveway has small stones on it,only other problem I had was when the gearbox was being pulled up it kept catching on where the wish bones connect to the subframe so after a bit heed scratching thought if I turn the box so the axle flanges where pointing up slide the box in then turn it to right that way the axle flanges are sitting above the subframe so all done clutch feels good

cheers

looking on the pressure plate,I bet you have a DMF ,if still asking

the model with the missing tooth is for DMF

 

and the fork is bend,that;s why is rubbing on the pressure plate,in case if you still wondering....
