4200 Clutch replacement

[Navcorr]

Taking care not to crush an EV pipe against the rear cross member.

Craig Waterman used to do them on the floor on his own.

Did you detach the gearbox from the subframe or did you move it on the subframe bolts? Need the mufflers to come off to have enough space to move the gearbox backwards or could they stay in place?

Thanks for answer

I followed Craig Waterman’s guide, as mentioned by Spartacus once the cross brace and boot liner is removed there’s enough room.

I also remember also having to loosen the engine mount bolts too so I could get a bit better angle to slide the torque tube out.

What about detaching the axles? Necessary?

I think I will start the job in 2–3 weeks.

Having done a few now a ramp is the number one thing you need. It could be done on the floor but you have to angle the engine down to get the bell housing on then the torque tube is a 3 man (one supporting the front, one supporting the rear and one to guide it on the splines) job on a ramp so good luck with that!

Personally I wouldn’t go through the pain when the labour at Sportsitalia is only £750 and a small part of the complete job...it’s all parts.

in my area the labour is just 2k €... thats why I will do it by myself

I was quoted 6k for the job with parts.

No, not necessary.

It is a challenge to do yourself, the torque tube is heavy, I used 2 axle stands and a second trolley jack to support it when removing/reinstalling.

FYI we always set new PIS at 4.65, it’s a good aggressive starting point and rarely have to adjust it.

Hello, I just acquired a 4200 , the PIS value is currently set to 4.95. Should I change it to 4.65 ?or is that for new clutches only. my clutch wear index is approx 3600. clutch is worn at ~70 %. Thanks
