I'm having one fitted today, so will try and get the details for you.

Apparently they are a little difficult to get hold of at the moment, so good luck.

Are you sure you want to DIY? Is your helper technically minded?
I'm not putting you down or anything mate, but unless things have changed drastically from my mechanic days, you got to make sure the clutch is properly centred or else you are going to give yourself a whole load of grief.
I'm sure somebody with more than my 1/2 ounce of knowledge will be along in a minute (Peter?)

My "assistant" is very adept, he just doesn't charge main dealer prices, and I want to watch/ assist for future possibilities.

Cheers anyway


That's OK then. Good luck with it

Anyway, which clutch do I need and where can I get one from ?

IIRC, TVR fitted many different types of clutches to cars over the years. So much so that one '99 car may have a totally different clutch to another '99 car.

One garage told me that one of the major problems is that they can't order clutches in advance as they don't know which one is needed until they take the old one apart...

My clutch hasn't turned up yet, so haven't got details. Picking the car up tomorrow so will enquire then.

I've had wishbone bushes, engine mounts, prop shaft, lower engine seal, new radiator and clutch done.

This is really going to sting!!
