Ajaya Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I want to change my clutch on a 1.8k roadsport and I've never taken an engine out before. In fact I've never changed a clutch before! Does anyone know where I can down load some useful tips and instructions? Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3MCJez Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The build manual should be on the Caterham website. Whether that's useful or not is for you to decide To be fair, I thought the instructions were "adequate". Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 The build manual is probably not much help as the clutch is usually fitted to the flywheel by CC. However it will give you details on which bolt goes where on the engine/gearbox. Search on here for tips on taking the engine out; I did it the 1st time with a helpful friend. Although one person can get the engine out it's much easier with two when putting it back in. You need an engine crane so maybe borrow from someone who will help/guide you. Decide on whether to take the engine & gearbox out as one lump or split in situ. I always split in situ. You will need a new clutch from CC plus something to align the clutch plate on fitting. Either buy a useful gadget from Halfords or similar or beg/borrow/steal an old gearbox input shaft. Check your clutch cable as now is the time to change it if there is any doubt. Plan on one day for out & one day for in the 1st time you do it. Post back on here with any specific problems.
