im now fitting a spare turbo clutch i have spare to a 1.4 campus. Ive never done a clutch before so i was just woundering which way around the clutch goes? Isit the side with more beef where the springs are goes gearbox side? Also can i use the turbo cover plate on the n/a engine? Cheers
How many more times d'you want to duplicate this same thread?
It will only fit one way so that the clutch material is flush to the flywheel/take-up springs are facing outside.
i wonder if this mite help
im pretty sure this is the first thread ive started on it.. as ive just had a search through threads started by me. sorry if its not
ive put the turbo clutch up against the flywheel and put the cover plate against it aswell and it doesnt look like the cover plate will bolt up to the flywheel. can anyone confirm this?
might change the flywheel to the gt one but it might be a bit hard to unbolt the flywheel with the gearbox still in the bay.
so might just buy a clutch for it.
and thanks for the pic. confirmed what i was going to do.
anyone got any idea wheres cheapest for the n/a clutch. will get searching me self.
cheers
I deleted your other 2 that were started within 5 minutes of each other.
The campus has a 180mm clutch, the gt-turbo's 200mm will not bolt up, you will need a matching 200mm flywheel like the gt-turbo's.
sorry mart i didnt realise..
cheers scoff ive got a gt turbo flywheel. do you think it will be possible to unbolt the campus flywheel with the box in situ? cheers
in situ, like bolted to the engine ? I can only assume you don't mean that. Maybe you mean with the gearbox in the engine bay ? yes, but expect to loose some knuckle skin!Originally Posted by tom t

yea box is unbolted but in the bay.
yeah thats what i was thinking. im quite good at doing that allready. and i can see that being 10x worse.
but i suppouse it will be saving me £50 quid so could be worth it lol. cheers
ive managed to change the flywheel on the engine on the campus to my turbo flywheel today without even scraping the skin of my hands lol.
i then tried to bolt up the cover plate with the clutch in situ, and i think i tried to do it up to tight. as now the bolts are doing up but then when you think youre on the last turn of the thread the bolt goes loose again.
i was trying to get the cover plate to go tight to the flywheel. but im not sure if its suppoused to do so, could anyone confirm this?
it looks like the clutch plate has a slight gap from the flywheel on my gt turbo.
how can i now go about getting some bolts to go tight into the flywheel? any help would be much appreciated as ive spent agers on this today.
thanks alot
Sounds like the bolts you're using are too small, Are they from the campus?? You'll need some GT Turbo clutch bolts. High tensile M8 cap heads.
The cover should be Tight against the flywheel, have you got the clutch plate in the right way, Hub outwards?
Did you also threadlock the flywheel bolts? Just bear in mind that if any rotating part of the clutch/fly assembly is even slightly loose it could come off at high revs and destroy the car and even kill someone.
yes there from the campus that must be why then. what do you mean by cap heads m8? sorry for sounding dumb.
yeah ive got it the same way as the picture further up^
i havent but i will be doing so. and should i use it on the cover plate bolts?
dont want that happening
thanks m8
Alright mate. I meant Metric 8mm cap head bolts. Sure that's what the GTT has.
Just threadlock the flywheel to crank bolts
kool 8mm being the thread size? any idea on how long they need to be? or will the same lenth as the campus ones be ok? thanks alot
Not sure. Part number from Renault is 7703009169 about 40p Each and the washers for them are part number 7903053042 and are about 47p each. Robbery.
According to Dialogys, sure enough, the campus bolts are only 7mm so no wonder they were loose.
that would explain why i was getting very annoyed trying to do them up lol.
i will have to pay a visit to renault. for some expensive washers and nuts lol.
thankyou very much top top man
could anyone tell me if these look like the clutch cover plate bolts. see pictures, there not that great though.
as ive found a couple in me shed. and i could do with the rest for the weekend. and i dont think ill be able to get them from renault in time.
and if they are the right ones ill try and find similar bolts elswhere.
cheers
Yeah they look like the ones tom.
awesome ill go and see if i can find some cheaper at the hardware store. cheers
I bought some not that long ago from Renault and they are Zinc plated, I wouldn't bother using old or bolts I have found in my shed for the sake of a a few £'s I would get new matey.

i wont be using them bolts m8 as i havent got enough of them for a start. definatley getting new. now on the phone to renault. im thinking i need 8 so hopefully it isnt more then that i need lol.
and the man on the phone has said this part number isnt any good 7903053042 for the washers.
all ordered lets hope i get it sorted saturday when they get here.
cheers
Typical Renault.
My Dialogys show it as 79 03 053 043 WASHER 8-14 .47
Looks like a number iswrong on the one below as last digit is a 3 not a 2
im waiting for
"ive put the gtt flywheel on but i can only get 5 of the crank bolts in"
whys that lol? sure there all in there
would you be able to tell me what you mean before i attempt to finish this 2moro master? (or was it a mick take out off me being useless lol.) cheers
