1.2 16 v clutch

[heathbrowning]

Hi folks. Need to change the clutch on my mk2 ph2 1.2 16v and just checking that I can do it with leaving the engine. Back in the day when I was a technician in the motor trade, Clio's had to have both engine and box out but just want to check with you experts first :approve:

Thanks

iirc the willys and 1.8 16v's the engine had to be lifted. There a peice of piss on the 1.2, everything is! Drop the subframe and your away.

you don't even need to drop the subframe when i changed my gearbox and clutch i did it through the top it's a tight fit but does go through.

thanks carl

I was wondering if you could do that actually. Get the box out just enough to get the clutch and bearing done. Would save me taking the sub-frame out etc.

Also, does anyone know off hand what the correct gearbox oil is for this car ?

Thanks again

Your not wrong there ! Everything is so easy to do on this car. I have my brothers Mk2 Ph1 at the minute and was thinking of buying it off him. Its rapid and looks great in black

Clutch out now. No need for sub-frame to come out either. If you remove the two studs which the box go over (for bellhousing nuts) the box comes back enough and gives you a good angle to take the clutch and thrust bearing out comfortably. I love 1.2 16v's. Not quick, but so easy to work on !
