Hello all
I am just a few weeks in now to ownership of my 2001 d4d 95. It's going brilliantly, absolute beast of a car, very pleased.
Being 15 years old, there are a few faults which I am slowly working through. This one I need your help on please.
It's a manual gearbox. Occasionally when stationary and putting it into first from neutral, there will be a jolt as if the clutch wasn't fully depressed.
This isn't very often. What is more often is the same jolt when changing from 1st to 2nd. Not all the time, maybe only 1 in 20 times.
Only 1st to 2nd. No other directions or gears.
Now you'll have to correct me if I am wrong here. When the clutch pedal is pressed the gearbox is disengaged from the engine. When the jolt occurs (neutral to first) there is slight movement forward. So is the clutch not disengaged properly or am I misunderstanding the mechanics here?
Or am I barking up completely the wrong tree!?
Thanks in advance
Jake
