After my first drive of my new sapphire 2wd (to the MOT station) it was evident that the clutch slips under heavy acc.

I've read though the work shop manual to see how its done and it doesn't seem to bad.

Is it difficult to actually do though?? Do most of you guys do it yourself??


I've done engine conversions/gearboxs +most things on a Peugeot 205. But these always seem easy to work on


Also will a worn clutch make it difficult to engage gears (particully from 5th to 4th and entering third.

I have a new Motorcraft standard clutch which I would ideally like to use. Would this be suitable for a 330 bhp engine???


Thanks

330bhp will be ok for that clutch BUT seeing as you are taken it out If it was me I would go the 6 plate paddle with standard pressure plate JUST incase you were to up the bhp some time

regarding the down shifting etc I would say that there is a problem waiting to get WORSE so get that checked out b4 you put it back(bulk rings or worn sycros etc!

taking the g/box out of a 2 w/d Cos isn't too difficult m8

U BETTER OF WITH A PADDLE CLUTCH M8 LAST LONGER WITH THAT KIND OF BHP
WITH THE GEARBOX THING USUALLY SYNCRO IN THE BOX USUALLY WEAR CAUSING IT HARD TO ENGAGE GEARS /U MIGHNT B LUCKY AND IT WILL BE YOUR CLUTCH

If youve done work on Peugeot 205's especially the GTI then the cossie box will be a doddle At least you can see it which is one up for a start

Thanks for the replys.

I will have to find out the price on a 6 paddle clutch.


Will also get somebody to check over the box while its out.
