Renault 19 1.4 Rn - Renault 19 1.4 clutch change - KCSRenault

Hello,

Just wondering if there is any out there how has ever changed a clutch on one of these, my faithful mechanic has now retired and closed up shop. I need a clutch for my renault 19, we thought it was cable but no improvment, and have managed to source a genuine renault kit.

Anything to look out for or to avoid doing, my dad has a ramp in his garage etc, so might give it a go.

Thanks

Best I could tell you is it's listed in the book at around 5-6 hours to do the job.

It's usually easier to do a job like this on a two post ramp. You will need to remove the driveshafts, and so be prepared to catch the gearbox oil that will spill. You may also need to remove the front subframe, but bear in mind that when you do there will be nothing to hold the engine so make sure you have it adequately supported otherwise it'll drop. Make sure the new clutch centre plate is aligned otherwise you'll have difficulty getting the gearbox back in.

Renault megane mk 1 was just an update of the 19. If you look for info on clutch change on a 1.4 megane you might have more luck.
