your clutch is worn out.
You will wear your clutch prematurely. With no play, it means that there is lack of pressure on the clutch plate thus allowing it to slip; slippage causes wear.
It could lead to premature throw-out bearing failure.
Probably the clutch is not disengaging. This could be due to the clutch cable being out of adjustment, or the clutch master cylinder not having enough fluid, the clutch slave cylinder being worn out, or the throw out bearing being shot. Try to have a mechanic look at it.
I could be wrong here but are you "kangeroo jumping" as in failing to use the clutch properly when changing gears thus the car lurches, this could be a result of a worn out clutch OR gearbox.
a) Check gear oil level/condition. b) or you have a worn synchronizer. Verify that your clutch linkage is adjusted, if this is a cable linkage vehicle. Hydraulic units are not suppose to be adjustable. Your difficulty with getting the vehicle into first gear could be a result of the throw-out fork not fully releasing the clutch disk; hence the above suggestion to verify that the clutch mechanism is adjusted properly for full travel of the throw-out fork.
Your clutch is not disengaging completely, you may get a little more life out of it by adjusting the pedal travel but in the end you will need to replace the clutch
The clutch cable for the Citroen Berlingo could be snapping due to a sharp turn in the cable, or due to the clutch having a problem. Make sure that the clutch is operating smoothly, and the cable does not have any tight turns that might cause a kink in the system.
yes hydraulic could cause this also the clutch pressure plate could be collapsed
The clutch is draging/ not disingauging all the way.you need to adjust the free play in cable.If it is a juice clutch may need to blead it. good luck, ben
A slipping clutch.
The simplest answer after making sure the clutch is installed properly would be to replace the slave component and bleed it thoroughly. I have found that all the work you could do comes down to the system having being purged of air. Answering my own question came about by utilizing a friend to pump the clutch pedal. This led to the successful completion and found that I was able to experience the new feeling of having the clutch system optimized.
A hydraulic clutch requires no adjustment, as it constantly adjusts itself.....if you are having problems getting into gear then check your fluid level and bleed the system, if the clutch is biting too high then its probably because the clutch is worn. If after checking the levels and bleeding you still have problems, then it could be a release bearing problem ..
