Hey, the title says it all. Anyone knows any? Can't seem to find it on the forum. Thanks in advance. I was thinking about changing the clutch pedal if anyone knows any tutorial as well. Thanks!
Technical Gearbox change - looking for tutorial
Currently reading:
Technical Gearbox change - looking for tutorial
GUIDE section should show basics of gearbox swap.
If its a petrol.. most FIAT cars are VERY similar.

Changing the clutch is a similar job to changing the gearbox - depending on how you do it.

Okay, I think I got that one. And what about changing the clutch pedal?

Its lengthy job... i can get it out in about 4hrs.... as dropping it is 10x easier than getting it in...
Ive done it loads of times and i run into different issues each time....

Do you really need to change it? squeaks and clicks can be solved by getting a 3 euro plastic cap which goes on the end of the clutch slave rod near the hinge of the clutch pedal.
I read somewhere the easiest way to get the clutch pedal out is to take out all three pedals because the amount of room in that area to see what you are doing makes working there very difficult

Never heard of that plastic cap. You know where I can fine one? My clutch pedal is always squeaking and clicking as you describe.

Yes
4hrs to get it dropped
If i had some more tools (wishbone lever tool for example)
Id get it done abit quicker....
Getting it back in i find harder tbh....
As for the clutch pedal itself
Ive never heard anybody changing it on a punto
Maybe 1 master swap
Alot more slave swaps (which is alot easier)
If your doing a clutch - id add about 1hr ontop to ensure its in correctly before refitting box

My objective is to upgrade my 5-gear to a 6-gear sporting. Since I have a mk2 sporting for spares.

Theory says the linkages have nowt todo with how gears are selected - thats done by the gear selector ontop of the box
Just obviously R becomes 6th and reverse is somewhere else (never seen the 6speed box)

Reverse is below 7th,if you had one.6th is next to 4th and under 5th. They will fit straight in,and the end case is longer but won't foul.

Won't foul on any thing,so you can replace a five speed with a six speed gear box,no problame.
