I made an earlier reply to this thread stating I had no problem.

Mine has been back twice to the dealer the second time the gearbox was taken out but I still have a stiff clutch. Has anybody had this problem fixed by a dealer?

Don'suppose any of you have found an answer to this have you? My 07 plate never did it(90k by the time we parted) but this 09 plate with50k has started recently. After a long run without changing gear the first press of the clutch is really stiff, then all is fine, it's going in for a service on Tuesday, any comments would be appreciated. |

Mine got better after a service. I *suspect* it's down to fluid levels, i.e. if it's overfilled slightly then it's as if pressure builds up and that isn't relieved until the clutch has been pressed. |

Mine has done this for a while now. Champion when cold but after half hour or so driving in top it stiffens. I think engine heat may have something to do with it. Could the slave cylinder be drying out a little or the thrust bearing sticking with the heat and that first push frees everything? It is hard to find a fault when not there all the time but if so many folks have reported this then it is not a one off. Somebody in the engineering departments among the LR dealerships may have a logical reason why???? |

Mine does this & has done for quite some time. I thought it was just my imagination & that after a while without using the clutch my leg wasn't used to pressing the pedal.

I would be slightly concerned, there are no cables involved and no clutch fork to operate the 'release bearing'.

I have no experience of this on a Freelander 2 but if the slave cylinder starts to stick or seize, the clutch may not engage properly or smoothly and hence overheat. It would also cause the pedal to require more pressure. John
