Technical Clutch OEM number and replacenment.

[Soul Evans]

Hi everyone!
I have one thing to ask, because Eper suprised me again Maybe someone have simillar issue.
- First clutch OEM number 71719616 - the same as 71752236 or renew part 71722766.
- Second OEM clutch - 71734895 - 71784551 - 7175225.

And now... both of these to groups looks quite the same and both of these can be replaced for example with ONE Sachs or Valeo replacement part!!

And me question is... WTF? and can I use second group clutch as replacement for first?? There is major price difference between 71719616/71734895.....

Thanks

71719616 is for a 1.6 Stilo.

71734895, replaced by 71752225 (not 7175225) is for 1.6 Palio, Sienna, Strada.

71784551 is the Fiat part number for the old unit of an exchange reconditioned clutch.

If you want to PM me your VIN, I'll check which part number is for your car.

OK, Thanks but have just solved it. These are the same clutches with different numbers. "Strada 02-" perfectly work with Stilo. I`ve talked to guy working in spare parts department in FIAT - this is normal. Fiat standard procedure - take one part from ex. VALEO (ex. clutch) and naming it different for different models and give no info at all about it....... even with Eper.

P.S. Discovered by the clutch change and removing gearbox leaks - when someone will have small vibrations during acceleration and checked lower engine/gearbox mount, driveshafts etc. - remove gearbox end cover and check for bearing at the end of main shaft...
