hi anyone put a new clutch in a 3L x250 anything to look out for that comes to mind to watch out for . cheers

Make sure a new clutch slave cylinder is fitted as its inside the bell housing and would mean removing the gearbox again if it failed later on.

hi taffybloke . yes got that covered its the tecky bit i am after but think got it all covered like jacking up high enough to get bell housing out or the little 10mm bolt holding New clutch 'lasts 15 times longer than OE unit' say Borg & Beck the conversion plate to the engine removing the nearside engine mount or the plastic liner anything i have missed anyone . cheers

hi. ok didnt go for a soiled fly wheel stuck to factory luk kit as reading there was issues with the soiled one plus the luk was a lot cheaper . the old clutch plate was like brand new but the dmf had no resistance (springs fcuked ) so the verdict
is pressure plate tension weak due age --dmf fly wheel springs plus having a remap as she only slipped at 20.000rmp at the time the boost kicks in BUT the remap is staying on as i get a lot better mpg as you can see there is no blueing
anyway i treat clutches as if they are made of chocolate so after only 28,000 miles i am disgusted with fiat & the motorhome builders for NOT realizing
they are asking a van to pull 6 tons ( tag axle ) something has to give & after 48 years of driving & owning a multitude of vehicles & NEVER had to have a clutch fitted its just shyt . the fitter started at 8.00am i was driving it at 4.00pm i chipped in as well we stood it on 2 axle stands just took the grill & slam panel off

Super old post, but hoping someone will chime in. When replacing the clutch, the Fiat manual has a convoluted procedure with special tools for "setting" the clutch in place. Is that true? Is there a special procedure for bolting the clutch in place?
