topless 13 Report post Posted October 4, 2005 dude buy a new clutchAbsolutely agree with Andrew here, the box is such a *&&%*& mission to remove and replace that it is NOT worth trying to scrimp on bits that might fail. Maybe put unreconditioned hydraulic cylinders on if you are short of cash, as they are relatively easy to remove later, but put a new clutch kit (clutch plate, pressure plate and release bearing) and new pilot bearing in to save yourself a lot of hassle and money if the second hand clutch fails!

bravo 35 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 There were Getrag 240's on 320's aswell. Presumably with different bellhousings, but if you consult the online ETK - the majority of manual 320 models list the 'box as either the sport or overdrive version of the getrag 240. Prob doesn't help here, but I was previously always under the impression that 240's were only used on the 4 cyl. models. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
