Need to replace clutch - 2006 BMW R 1200 GS

Mr Thomas. Since you renewed the master and slave clutch cylinders and do have pressure to release clutch but not engaged, means that either you have broken driven clutch plate or pressure plate broken. Means you need new clutch.

You need to replace the clutch, once they start to spin its a sign of wear, replace all three compononts for best results, ie plate,cover and bearing, normally comes as a kit.

If ur have replace ur clutch but the check light still on it mean your CO sensors need to clean or replace.

This normally means your clutch is worn down and needs replacement. Much less likely is that the clutch pedal travel needs adjustment.

Replacement of the clutch requires removal of the gearbox and is much easier with a shop hoist. I'd recommend replacing the pressure plate assembly as well.

if you replace and shure to make a good bleed on clutch fluid, then replace clutch disc

Clutch plates may have worn out OR If hydrolic clutch then it may need re-bleeding or if cable- May need replacing or adjusting
Check them few things you will most likely find its the clutch plates need replacing.

as the clutch wears the "free pedal" is reduced ... its easy to adjust "free pedal" and important to do so .. when there is very little or no free movement above where the clutch engages/disengages then the clutch starts to wear rapidly ... if there are no other symptoms like clutch chatter, slipping or noise then the clutch plate likely has some life left if it is adjusted properly and promptly ..

Need to have it check could be clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder or hose from clutch master cylinder to slave cylinder.check brake fluid at clutch master cylinder sit next to brake master cylinder if empty could have a leak. fill and pump peddle and look for leak.

The clutch acting system is hydraulical, (clutch hydraulic system).
Your clutch pedal master cylinder is weak, and needs to be replaced or repaired by gasket kit replacement. Also the clutch slave cylinder can be used, and needs to be repaired (by gasket kit replacement), or replaced. The clutch system must be bled after carrying out work on the hydraulic clutch mechanism.

You need to empty the engine from all fluids, tehn remove air filter and other parts, mount your Golf on a bridge and remove the clutch pressure plate assembly mounted on a side of the engine.

You will need special tools to align and mount the new pressure plate, and you will need to follow a procedure to reinstall the clutch without removing the transaxle.

Replacing the clutch is not an easy task for a beginner, if you do it yourself, get the haynes manual with the complete illustrated procedure.

After replacing you will have to adjust the clutch. See CLUTCH REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES.
