Is there anything I need to know about fitting a new clutch such as Special tools or any processes that need to be carried out in specific order or is it the same as a Chimaera which is pretty straight forward
Thanks in advance

just had mine done by local clutch specialist. Didnt have time to take to specialist as going to lemans on thursday. The clutch plate is reasonably straight forward BE CAREFULL the springs wear to outside of the flywheel if Too bad turn plate by 2 bolts so springs are on virgin flywheel. Otherwise you will have no travel. Also slave cylinder is a bit of a bh but O rings must be changed they fail! also any scoring replace it, Make sure holes line up and are at top makes it easier to bleed.Be very careful with O rings do not nick them. Other than that a ramp and basic mechanical knowledge will get you through.

Steve - if you need a hand with the gearbox, etc, don't hesitate to give me a bell.
