So it does look as if the seal/o-ring in the clutch slave cylinder has failed and allowing fluid to seep past the piston. Enough to reduce pressure applied to the clutch plate and ability for the spring to return the piston to its home position.

The effect of seal failure worsens as the ...

Thanks Geoff,

I will take a look at those see if they provide some pointers of where to start looking .

Afternoon all,

I have been enjoyed bombing around in my manual 4x4 bongo since the txfer and gearbox replacement back in May with new clutch and gear oil. I have had approximately 700 miles of problem free driving

But after a warm day of driving around Cornwall the bongo gearchange was notchy then ...

Thanks Doone.

After some more diagnosis over a garage pit. There is a knock/noise every 5 or so seconds from the rear of the gearbox / transfer case when idling in neutral with clutch not pressed. Placing hand on both gearbox and transfer case, it's possible to feel the vibration of the knock. And ...

So I managed to speak to Holly at Mazdabongo.com is so super super helpful and

ADL blueprint number for the kit is ADM53073 .
Cross references to Borg + Beck HK2094

With my VIN and liaising with Mazda themselves they were able to find the correct kit

I will see what happens when the gearbox is ...

Thanks for your reply,

Can you remember what borg and Beck part number you used? My garage seems to think it is a HK2545 ; but that states for use with dual mass engines.

I thought it should be a HK2094

The conflicting information makes me unsure :-/

Going by the mazda prt number for a up 1997 ...

Thanks Doone,

Much appreciated, especially that post re vibration.

The first comment on that post about larger clutch plates is apparent when you search for clutch replacements for bongo. seems to vary with stated size

I am going for a Borg & Beck replacement so will keep fingers crossed and ...

Hi all..

I am in the process of looking to change the clutch in my manual 4wd bongo after hearing so unnerving rattling sounds when the bongo is in neutral idling. It is sounding very much like clutch release bearing rattle/ failure. The car still engages in gear and can drive. And the noise ...

Hi Geoff, just to let you know that the blinds are working sweetly now.. Was just one other I needed to tap into...

Now to my next project.. Finding a purple roof tent and fitting!!

Thanks again, much appreciated

Many thanks for this Geoff I will take a look at that wiring.

The individual switches do work if the circuit is powered from an independent / isolated supply, the voltages are reversed correctly and the blinds operate in both directions from the OEM switches.

I can see from the circuit diagram ...

The plug for drivers side, control wires are yellow with blue stripe and yellow with red. The green in that same block is +12v but appears to be wired to something already.. but tapping into that works for front dash switch, but not the indiviudal switches.

Hi All,

I decided to take on installing some electric blinds in my bongo over the weekend.

Armed with the passenger side wiring loom, the individual switches and the 2 dash switches, I was able to wire in the passenger side adding the +12v Yellow , then the two control wires white with green ...

OK I edited my previous post to add more detail but it looks like the 1995 manual are for cars between may 1995 and october 1997, the circuits are different. But yes the symbols are to work out even zoomed in

Hmm yes it should do. To clarify, that page for 1995 models; is this showing circuits for models with both digital climate (which uses relay/switch I1-01) and manual where there is just the dashboard 4 pin switch I1-02 on the right side?

Looking at the colour cables into that 4 pin plug under the ...

Found this page also for 1995 cars
