Good evening and a Happy new year to all. I have a 98 , 748 which occasionally gives me a false neutral, the fluid looks dark to me could this be the problem. ( renew clutch fluid) or could it be more of an issue has anyone had this problem. Many thanks
And gear lever height adjustment. if you are getting false neutrals on upshifts try adjusting the lever down a little and vice-versa if your problem is with downshifts.
The fluid going dark is quite normal. It is because the fluid gets hot from the slave cylinder location. Doesn't hurt to change it but it won't solve false neutrals. Anyway, you shouldn't need to use the clutch!
Thanks chaps . It happens when I've stopped , knocked it into neutral going by the light on the dash but it's still actually in gear
Most likely the switch needs shimming, they can be very temperamental, it might need a thicker shim. Try slackening the switch off half a turn before removing it and see if that helps, if it does then fit a slightly thicker washer on. At worst it might need a new switch. Steve
Never trust the light on the dash! Birdie just beat me to it about the switch and the shim beneath it.
