Started to fit a clutch on my bugeye wagon.
Was promiced help off a mate who came for 30 mins then had to go and now csnt come back.....
Im not a mechanic and I need the car asap im basically to the point where gearbox and engine are apart by 1 inch.
Im not confident in continuing futher so.....
Is tgere anybody near st helens that can come and help I will pay and supply coffee and free snogs from my rottweilers :-)
If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.

 

Clutch bearing, fork and pin all need to be on the box before fitting the engine.

Jack the gearbox up using a scissor jack so its at an angle and clear of the front cradle by a good few inches, remove the flywheel cover from the engine as it sometimes catches when fitting. Knock the dowels out of the gearbox casing.
After that its just a matter of getting the angle correct and lining the bottom bolts on the block into the gearbox casing and giving it a good old shake into place.

Once you get the engine and box together with a few nuts and bolts, remove the clutch slave cylinder from the gearbox by the two 14mm bolts, then push the clutch fork towards the bulkhead. You should hear a satisfying ''click'' as the bearing locates in the pressure plate.

Remove the scissor jack from under the box and lower the engine mounts into the cradle.

Plain sailing after that

Refit the slave cylinder and clutch spring. You should have a clutch pedal after that

 

Been told how to do it but im not confident to go futher....

 

Anyone?
