Changing clutch is the only job i've ever done on my 106 that took me 2 full days and nights and made me want to hang myself :(

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Thanks for the motivation speach!

How come it took you so long??

ive got a friend who does mechanics at college and hes doin clutches next week so hes gonna help me:)

Im kinda goin for this use guides idea on my car and avoid garages:D

I thought you did all the work on yours yourself fuzz?

Cause i was gonna ask you for a guide on how to fit a GTi axle??
Any advice cause thats next after we fit my new springs:)

Clutch changes are easy compared to some jobs on the car.

Takes few hours tops if you've got your head on straight.

[Fuzzy Orange]

Impossible!!

The gearbox change and the rear beam lowering are the 2 worst things ive ever done

To get to the gearbox you need to remove both driveshafts and passenger strut assembly - thats a few hours on its own

Then all the wiring in the engine bay needs to be removed - you have to remove the battery and battery tray to get to it

Then its a series of bolts holding it to the block - you need to support the engine and gearbox while doing it as you have to remove the engine mounts aswell!!

When you've undone the bolts it comes off and if your lucky through the passenger wheel arch - with a lot of waggling and moving the engine about

Then you can unbolt the clutch assembly and refit

Getting the gearbox back onto the engine without touching the clutch arm and dislodging the release bearing is a nightmare

And then building it all up

Took me a day to get it stripped down and gearbox off
Then another day to put the gearbox back on and rebuild it all back up!

GTi beam fitting - I did in a day, but lowering it took me a weekend again LOL

Fuzzy - i thought you were a god when it came to things like that!

you knwo how to make motivational speaches! i wonder what you say when it goes pete tong!

i can say a clutch in a ax and saxo have both taken me in the region of 2hours! and a complete engine and box swap in about 6!

one major thing you missed Fuzzy was drain the gear box first! pulling the driveshafts out wil cause the EP80 to drip all over the floor! this can be very messy!!!

[Marcs]

Well im gonna go for it:D

Got a haynes wats the worst that could happen:)
Time is nothing if it saves me a wod of money:)

But no one has said if this is the right clutchhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=002

Fuzz do you think you can do a guide on the rear beam conversion??
What will i need?

[mikey_b]

would you guys advise i change my clutch during my engine transplant then?

[Marcs]

I think yea!

[l'ectrics.com]

Deffo mike, it will take 1/4 the time with the engine out.

Heh ok mate

All I know is I lowered a car front end at the weekend and it took me 4 hours just to take the struts off and the driveshafts out, change springs and put it back together


So to remove struts, shafts, drain gearbox (which by the way I usually just stick a bucket under when I pull the driveshafts out LOL)
And remove lower engine mount, battery, wiring loom around gearbox, air box, upper gearbox mount, lower engine and pull gearbox off

Then rebuild back up

Takes me 2 days

If you can do it in 6 hours - you can do my clutches from now on :p

[Marcs]

So is it just time consuming and effort?
Not neccesarily hard??
Also is this the right clutch :Dhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=002

I honestly dont know mate

I have a quiksilver clutch brand new going spare though - managed to end up with 2 of them for some reason! Ones ebc and the other is a sachs clutch

Im not sure which im using on my new engine but one will be for sale

[Marcs]

hmmm...

im not sure i was gonna go for the orginal valeo.
I can get it on gsf but uits like £90!!
Was hunting to see if i could find a newer one.
Youve got a pug parts cd???
whats that?
If you could check that would be really helpful and much appreciated.
Thanks

[mikey_b]

while we are on clutches can anyone explain to me the adantages of fast road clutches etc? and are they worth it? thx

[Marcs]

Ive heard its not worth it unless your planning to go above like 200 bhp
Other wise no need.
Dont quote me though!

[Fuzzy Orange]

I have a copy of the software they use at peugeot so I can look up part numbers for bits and pieces

If you want the clutch I have it'll only be £20 + P&P or something mate

I'll get the parts number for you tonight matey :)

[mikey_b]

wont fit a gti will it phil?

[Fuzzy Orange]

Nah mate its only a 180mm one - used on 1.4 xsi and quiky and lower I think

the 1.6's used a bigger flywheel and clutch assembly
