Had a new clutch fitted 4000 miles ago approx 1 year and now finding it difficult to select 1st and 2nd gears. Clutch peddle also feel very short. Is it the clutch or maybe the gear box???? Any ideas.

Could be the seals on the hydraulic cylinders. My second set only lasted 1 year frown

Same thing here, I had complete clutch kit fitted in Feb and it had to be changed a month or two back again, it seems the slave overheated and the seals failed - was a manufacturing fault. Thanfully the replacement was done FOC between my indy and CT - Excellent service as usual!

Just for those not seen earlier post;
Thank you trackcar & CT for a luvelly set of parts

Replaced all my Sagaris clutch bits;

Hope this info helps all

TVR Original Slave in the bellhousing leaked at 2k miles, stopped leaking at 4k miles.

First & reverse always akward from 0 miles
Getting difficult when cold at 3k miles to double clutching at 5k miles
1 ,2 ,3 nearly impossible to get.

Thrust bearing noisy when pedal part depressed

Got the lot out and found:-

Clutch friction plate- not worn. (and usally isn't apparently)

Original TVR slave leaking and thrust bearing noisy and without lubrication.



Original spring fingers intact but worn on ends on thrust bearing contact points; reduced spring load found with CT raceproved test equipment.




Original Clutch fork/yolke worn in base




Thrust faces- few hot spots but OK




THE CT RACEPROVED REPLACEMENTS

New CT Raceproved Clutch Assembly ;Spring properly heat treated with larger contact area and induction hardened to stop wear



Raceproved CT Clutch Assembly




Raceproved lightweight aluminium CT slave with PTFE coated sliding surfaces




RESULT:

Silky smooth changes including 1st, & reverse.

No slave leaks and don't expect any.

Drives like a different car; no missed gears now

5 Hours labour
