- Vs S2 V6 5,Speed Ute
Hey im back with a new post. Anyone may think i dont have no friends. I just fitted a new thrust bearing and spigot bearing/bush in my getrag gearbox(Vs s2). Initially it seemed ok. At that time the ute was unlicensed so i only took a short test drive. Then the day i took it for its licensing inspection it started screaming at me it stopped when i parked at licence centre. Obviously it didnt play up during its test drive as it passed. Then driving it home started again. I called a friend who said there is an adjustment on the rod that goes from peddle to master cylinder and that the thrust bearing may be not releasing because of pressure against it. I had a look but couldnt see any adjustment nut but did feel along the rod and couldnt feel any nut. There is a concertina dust boot which i pushed off the locating grove and didnt put back in place for the drive home. It didn't make any noise after that for a couple hundred ks. Then i did a half arsed wheel spin and it started again. Then it didnt the next time out then did the time after that. Now it just started whilst driving not with a dip of the clutch peddle infact engaging a d dissengageing the clutch only changes its note slightly and it does not stop but does get less loud untill just before it rolls to a stop. Then i done first and halfway through second gear before it started again. I put up with the noise and possable damage and drove it home and parked it. Note i brought the ute unlicenced the previose owner told me about the thrust bearing and it sqwealed one or twice whilst engaging(releasing peddle)the clutch moving it around the yard. Unfortunately the previose owner has moved on so i cant ask him about its symptoms. I just now crawled under and checked the oil level just to be safe and all ok. I just got back under the dash and im sure there is no adjustment nut unless it adjusts where the pin goes thru the peddle arm? Ive given up on the workshop manuals i have two and they have nothing but t5. Has anyone got any ideas? Fitting the trust bearing and spigot is pretty straight forward i dont see how a mistake can be made. Any help or theories much appreciated
