GSF's probably your best bet, you'll get a Valeo unit and they are good.

I wouldn't even contemplate fitting a second hand clutch, it's a big enough job to do once and forget about it for a few years....

I certainly wouldn`t bother with a second hand one either, might go again in a very short space of time. It`s probably worth changing the octopus at the same time as this is much easier with engine out and another job that`ll last a few years.

I agree, If the box is coming out then a full clutch is the only way to go, after you have done the job you definitely will not be in a hurry to do it again, the last one I bought was about £65 for the full kit, dont waste money on remanufactured ones, I have seen them fail prematurely.

Agreed, I had a genuine Valeo one fitted in my valver in 1999, 8 years 5 owners and 50k later its still going strong.

£65 for a clutch kit thats not bad my local ces wanted £109 this is the first time i have fitted a clutch on a bx i have done a ford transit before but it was a easy job easy to get to

with my bx i have just stated to do the work ive moved the drive shaft out of the way with it still atached to the hub as i did not have a 35/6 to undo from the hub moved pipes ect power steering pump and hydraulic pump looks a challenge with all them pipes

it might be better if i remove the engine aswell as the cambelt needs to be changed as it has not been for 7 years by the previous owner

If you have to do a timing belt too, then engine out is the easiest way.

I've done engine and box out, timing belt and clutch change, engine and box back in and driveable within a day.

Long day, but still a day.

i will have a think to take the whole lot out its geting hold of a engine hoist

Post by **docchevron** » Thu Feb 08, 2007 3:52 pm

it's easy enough to do the clutch, then do the belt with the engine in situ,although an engine hoist is always a useful tool to have...

I don`t see that being a big problem

well i will start again tomorrow on the hurricane after i have moved the snow i think i will do the clutch first then the cam belt with engine in just had a look at doing the cam belt theres not much room to get your hands in could be a lot of swearing isit better to take of the road wheel first to get at the crank
