hi im bak again, my gf just brought a manual red 88 vn and theres like 1001 problems with it but ill get to the first problem the clutch is very heavy to press down. is that a normal thing for the vn or is it running out of manual fluid? if it is where do u top it up cos i didnt c any in the engine bay? thanx b4dn xxxx
Its not a cable clutch is it, they are fairly heavy. Tried quick take off in a ute with very tight cable clutch and it was fairly hard! Its not unnormal for it to be hard yes. Grinding noise is more of a prob tho! should be quiet as a mouce, or the normal "click into gear" noise... when exactly does it do it? last time i heard grinding noises from a gearbox it blew up! was a bloody long walk 2
Boost me, and double clutch me so i can get my. Loss of Traction!
thats y i ask where do u fid the resivior for the fluid and where do u top it up? cos most cars its under the hood but i didnt find any wen i looked in the engine bay
if it grinds into gear the synchros are gone, there is gearbox fluid but is not usually the problem since it is not generally refillable, sounds like a cable clutch mine is the same although mine is a heavy duty clutch, its the heaviest that it can go without having a "pressurised clutch". like 2000punds or something not sure on the value but yeah its normal most vn's have a stiff clutch anwyays
VN COMMODORES JUST HAPPEN TO BE THE BEST CARS EVER
sorry about that sweet (im just starting out with cars lol) but the manuals dont have a dipstick like the autos do (going by the gregorys manual) there should be a filler plug and a drain plug on the side of the manual box. the correct level is when the fluid level is at or slightly bellow the filler plug. dont know if that helps
