Technical 2.4 20v manual - Possible to change clutch with engine in chassis?

[Jtelcs]

Hi all

I am trying to figure out if I need to take the engine out to change the clutch, DMF and slave cylinder - or if I could get the bell housing off through the left wheel arch with the engine still sitting in the chassis?

2.4 L 20V Abarth, manual 5 speed 3 door -Left hand drive. 100K km

Clutch pedal failed (went to the floor) and I am changing the master cylinder first. If that doesn’t fix the issue, I recon the next move is to change the internal slave cylinder. While doing that I would also get a new clutch and flywheel.

Doing the work in my driveway, and leaving the engine in would mean less cost as I would not need to buy an engine crane

Thanks for any thoughts or inputs.

I know that you can change the 1.8 Clutch with the engine in, as I did mine because like yours the clutch went to the floor. Not certain that the 2.4 isn't the same with the engine in, but it is a longer engine

Get the Haynes manual, it will tell you for certain.
