You have to remove the engine and gearbox. you will need a engine crane. Once you have the engine and box out, remove gearbox from engine and replace clutch, Refit gearbox to engine, put engine and gearbox back in car. Easy job if you have access to a engine crane.
no you dont
no gearbox is different as yours maybe a duratec engine and you're putting a zetec engine in so fittings would be different
No. You can remove the clutch and gearbox with the engine in-situ.
The clutch of a go kart is much the same as the clutch on a car. The clutch disengages the engine from the gearbox enabling the gear to be changed. Without a clutch gear changing would be difficult and may damage the gearbox.
The purpose of a clutch on a vehicle is to disconnect the drive of the engine from the gearbox (this would be required when the vehicle is stationary or to change gear). While the engine is running the crankshaft is continually turning, It is the crankshaft that turns the gearbox and via the gearbox the road wheels. Obviously there are times when the engine is running but drive is not required, The clutch is the mechanism by which this is achieved.
The gearbox will physically fit, you need to change the clutch to a push type clutch however. If we are talking 5 speed gearboxes.
If you look on the front of the engine, the engine number is etched in to the block next to the gearbox bellhousing.Plse look atwww.zetecinside.com/xr2/stepbystep.shtml
Of course your clutch and/or gearbox are faulty...
Well, I thought I'd have a go! Haynes recommend you take the engine out, but after seeing a post on LR4x4 I thought i'd follow it and move the gearbox back. I started the job a week ago, clutch is now in but I cannot get the gearbox back in place. So my answer is....... get someone else to do it! Yeah ive done 3 and always taken engine out from the point of view of lineing the engine/gearbox back up again. also when you change the clutch plates after removing engine make sure you renew the clutch fork. that is loacated in the gearbox housing, you will see it when you take the engine out.
The clutch is located behind the engine, just before the torque tube leading to the gearbox.
To remove the gearbox from a Volkswagen Polo the engine must be hoisted out of the car. Several of the engine components must be removed including the exhaust manifold and clutch lines. The gearbox is held on by several large bolts to the engine.
