Right guys now's your time to shine:D
I've finished off my clutch today and had to limp home all slow like:(
I didn't like it:confused:
So, which is the quickest cure?
Gearbox off etc OR engine out?
Also I've seen on ebay "Heavy Duty" clutch kits for the maverick! I need more clutch strength for future mods. Will it work or will I need to do the flywheel mods to get a 3l clutch in?:nenau
Sports clutch?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330335368390&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Help please oh mighty ones:bow

Take the box out but you will need to remove the crossmember that holds the torsion bars because not enough room.1st one i did couldnt believe that they designed it like that.Not an easy job sorry
 
Bugger:(
How long did it take you then?
Trying to plan for a busy rebuild next week:sly
 
I would say a good days work.slacken the bolts that tension the torsion bars then the arms tap off the ends of the torsion bar.Took me a while to work that one out you will need to support the vehicle on axle stands as it will end up very low once the torsion bars are disconnected
 
Gorden bennet that's a lot of tea:augie
Ah well it better not ruddy rain too:eek:
 
iv fitted a couple of gear box's and yes they are not a nce job, i managed to unbolt the cross member and pull the torsion bars down enough and put block in to hold them down. i started one at 8 out and in by 1 depending how many tea brakes ya plan. You have to remove the gearbox to pull the engine out as there is not enough room to get the clutch/flywheel out before you hit the front axle so has to come straight up. good luck :thumb2
 
:thumb2Im always willing to help but you are a couple hrs from me. I have all th gear for the job.
 
Have you done it? What was it like?:augie(oops came over all Monty Python for a mo)
How long did it take I meant:rolleyes:

hey pete, you should turn it on it's side,( it's been there before :lol ) saves laying on your back all day. imagine trying to drink tea on your back,:naughty:doh
 
Cheers guys for all the offers:thumb2

So it's all the cutting and welding for the big wheels, the body lift (cause extreme's doing one:lol), plug in the gas, do the 3lt clutch, swap the turbo, do the electric fans, the poly bushes, the bucket seats the rear spoiler, the roll cage and plumb in the tea ern:cool:
