hooray ..just got my brand new clutch kit for the v6

[BazV6er]

ordered one yesterday lunchtime and recieved it this morning ,checked it out and its all there and nice and shiny lol.

so now just gotta wait till the 7th may to get it fitted for a great price and it wouldnt be happening unless andy (callyman) didnt sort it for us as thats the earliest andys mate could get me in.

its a LUK/sachs kit i think so for the next mth ive got the tigra a while longer but its worth the wait.

cheers andy

125 delieverd for the kit

[BazV6er]

0nly a few weeks till its repaired, i bought some new ARB links and a new cv boot kit for the split one that is located in the middle of the driveshaft so we can change that while driveshaft is out .

cant wait to be able to drive it again soon

Baz remember the price was not including new oil etc.

[BazV6er]

guys,

does anybody know what else i might need to refit the new clutch like andy has said.75/90 gearbox oil i will have to find out prices for that but is there anything else?

Errmmm.....
Depends how you're going to do it Baz
An engine support beam (Trolley jack under the sump is a bodge, but works)
Disconnect clutch cable, and reverse light switch
Remove downpipes back to cat (New exhaust gaskets needed, manifold to downpipe, and downpipe to Cat)
Undo lower arms from hub and split joints (May need new split pins when fitting back together)
Undo hub nut, to push driveshafts out (Will need new split pins when fitting back together)
Remove driveshafts from gearbox
Drop subframe
Get big strong man to remove F25
Replace clutch
Refit

it depends if he is taking the engine out or not if he is you will need antifreeze and power steering fluid

I've never taken an engine out in 17 years just to do a clutch far tooooo much work/effort on a FWD chassis

120kgs+ engine, fuel pipes, sensors etc etc,

Vs

60kgs gearbox, driveshafts, gearlinkage, reverse switch......


If I was doing it, the box would be dropped from the underside, hence my reply above

[v6 steve]

every time we have done a clutch we have always done loads of other stuff at the same time so we take the engine out, it only take us 1/2 hour to get it out now, think the Drain's engine can get in and out it's self by now lol

[BazV6er]

ok guys it will be on a proper ramp so im sure the engine wont be touched and will be done from underneath , so are you saying i will need antifreeze and transmission fluid

does that sound right ?

If the engine is staying in situ then you won't need antifreeze, but it wouldn't hurt to do a flush/renew of the coolant. Same really for the trans fluid, drain and renew.

Do it whilst you can, save a job later on.

[v6 steve]

if he dosnt take the engine out you wot need antifreeze or power steering fluid but you will need the items Mark has listed in sure the guy will be able to get you ever thing and cheaper than you can get it

[v6 steve]

Mark your quick tonight slow down and have a beer lol
