General Clutch replacement

[Fomie]

Hi does anybody know a good place to get a clutch replacement for a 500 with an automatic transmission? Does the flywheel need replacing if the clutch is changed on one of these cars it’s a 0.9twinair

Hi

The clutch is pretty conventional..
Some TAs have a traditional solid flywheel.. others use a DualMass -'DMF'

Obvious choice is an independent Alfa Romeo specialist... been using this basic system since @1997

Your location in the UK will have a BIG effect on labour charges...

As Importantly.. why do you need a clutch?

The auto box was slipping in to neutral and warning lamp coming on, so we had it checked by a fiat specialist who said the clutch is on it way out also the actuator is showing a fault, quoted £3500 to do the work

I’m thinking maybe we can get the clutch done and have the actuator fixed rather than changed for a new one

 

[Fomie]

Was hoping to find a specialist who can do the work and not change the astronomical labour prices

Having a wornout Clutch is more likely to be a symptom of poor operation by 'the robot'

Obviously with a 3500 quote.. plenty of scope for a cheaper resolution

Slipping to neutral isnt necessarily a true sign of clutch wear

I would be tempted to get the leaky accumulator dealt with.. then assess the clutch once everything is recalibrated

The Dualogic specialist in Derby area has a good reputation on here.

My dualogics were all ok thankfully


The 500's failure thread is depressing 'its broke' reading

Grande Punto and panda sections carry useful info

Ok thanks for your reply
It is a leaking but the clutch is making a bit of a whining noise, they did re calibrate it and it is working fine but the wife won’t drive it, I will look them up and see what they say, thanks
