in need of some technical advice

[Raakile]

Hello to the forums!
I'm in need of some technical / mechanical advice.
I have got myself a Phase 2 Clio (180 Sport ym 2006. As a side note everyone seems to be talking about 182, I wonder why is this.. I suppose I can search for the answer.).

I have had the car for 3 weeks now and based on the experience so far it seems to me that the car would advantage of following items:

-New clutch
-Re-conditioning of the gearbox
-Lighter flywheel
( perhaps a new, aftermarket gearbox dogbone)

The new clutch I can get probably get easiest from the local Renault dealr and have it installed by them as well (I don't see much need for upgraded clutch).
For the rest of the stuff I wanted take the car to non-brand garage (gear box to a specialist and rest with another garage) as I feel it is easier to deal with them since I shall provide the parts myself.
Since I don't have much mechanical background, my question is that in which order should I proceed to replace / fix these items to avoid unnecessary (overlapping costs)?

Thanks.

Well the fact the gear box has to come off to do the clutch would point out you need to do them all in one go to save on costs really .... If u buy a valeo clutch and a billit flywheel and take it all go a gearbox recon place I'm sure they'll change the lot for you while the box it's out that'll save you forking out 3 lots of labour ....

Whats a 180 Sport? Where are you located? Flywheel makes minimal difference the standard one isn't that heavy.

You sure you need a Clutch? they are crap, heavy and high as standard.

Why do you think it needs a lighter flywheel?


The 180/182 is from if its described in PS or BHP, although in both cases its more like BS!
