Thread: New Clutch / Box swap LT77

It is possible to pull the transfer case and gearbox on the ground, but I wouldn't like to do it. Both are very heavy.

I suspect that if I had to do mine I would pull the engine out (I do have to pull my engine out at some stage, clutch will be getting done then).

If you are going to go so far as pulling it to pieces, replace all the parts. I think it would be false economy to only do half the job, considering it is such a big job to access the clutch. Get the flywheel machined or as a bare minimum clean it up with wet and dry paper.

The quote for the clutch was from a RR specialist. Does anyone have a recent $$ experience with a clutch change they are willing to share?

Also yesterday I was crawling around looking for the free play adjustment and the whole system is hydraulic - so should I conclude that the free play adjustment is on the pedal itself?

Cheers Terry

$1600 isnt too bad a clutch replacement done right is a full days work if nothing goes wrong.

if your doing it yourself at home its easier to pull the engine as you only need a flat area of concrete and an engine crane. (5 blokes can co-ordinate and beam lift the engine if you dont have a crane)

depending on the miles, if the flywheel is smooth and not showing hotspots or cracks you can skip machining this and the pressure plate is one of those things you can re-use and its my experience that if your pinching pennies that you can generaly get 2 friction plates out of one flywheel/pressure plate combo but the second friction plate wont last as long as the first.
