Peugeot 405 diesel

Hi,

My dad's Peugeot 405 "Style" diesel has recently developed a problem where it
sometimes crunches when he changes gear. Sometimes when putting it into first,
it is difficult, and the car will move forwards slightly when going into first.
This all points to the clutch not fully disengaging, has anybody else had this
or a similar problem on such a car?

Thanks in advance,

 

The clutch plate can rust to the input shaft so that it doesn't move
away from the flywheel when the clutch is depressed. Is the biting
point OK or does the cable need adjusting? I used to do mine every few
months as I'd lost the lock nut and the vibration slowly slackened it
off. It could also be old oil. I changed to Valvoline and the
gearchange improved.

 

Probably the clunch is used. Depending on the year it was
made, you can adjust the clunch cable or not ( when the cable
atomaticly adjust )

( sorry for my bad Englich )
