chimera clutch

[westie boy]

does anyone know if its an engine out job to do a clutch on a chimera thinking about buying another one with it slipping

[kevin63]

It can be done with the engine in, and it is usually done like that.

thanks kev im guessing it wont be to bad a job then as its gonna be done on the driveway if it needs one
as its apparently only slipping at the minute and gets
when the engine warms up?????

[westie boy]

forgot to ask are they cable or fluid operated????

[SimonV8ster]

Fluid I believe.

Fluid

It's a hydraulic system but you'll find it difficult to change without a ramp.

[Bomber Denton]

Straightforward job a little tight and you will need a ramp.

RPI Engineering are good for supplying the parts.

can possibly get it 2 feet off the floor
that was enough when i dropped the box out of my elise last year

[kevin63]

I would think that should be enough, I did my 4x4 Cosworth with less height than that.
You shouldn't need to bleed the clutch, I took the slave cylinder off first and all intact so that I didn't have to bleed it.
