slo2 Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Im going to change the clutch on my classic and several other bits and pieces (myself and a Polish mechanic who works with me that is). Im going to get a uprated one been advised on a Helix organic !! Where is the best / reliable supplier and also what other problems am I going to encounter when I swap over to the non standard part ? I have no problems once I get started and I know that Ive got all the little bits that I need its just the fear that Ill get 95% complete and some small 50p part stops me getting the job done!! Doing the timing belt(100000 miles) will I need new tensioners ? Is there a web site with the exploded drawings (Haynes manual styley) ? I know some of the mechanic types will be pissing them selves laughing at this but a little helping advice is all that is asked for!
the squiggle Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Greers will be able to source a Helix clutch Personnaly i would change the tensioner at 100000 miles What year of car regarding the manual? P1ss myself regularly but its nowt to do with this thread
euan_r Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 tensioner is usually sound. unfortunatly you can only feel idlers once your doing the job and these could need doing. get a legacy manual a lot of it is appropriate. i still refer to mine for torque settings but had a legacy before anyway.
euan_r Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 and pumps are driven directly so some may suggest a new water pump but mines done 140k and no service history. did nae bother. removed radiator when i did mine, gives a much better view, some professionals dont.
