How easy is it to fit a clutch in 306 pug?

Answer 1

I have just replaced a clutch on a 806 svdt and it was easy with the haynes manual but i did it at home and the clutch cable on the cars made after 1994 are self adjusting but this is only while the original clutch is slowly wearing out. when you replace the clutch you effect the cable and clutch position and cause the clutch cable not to self adjust because it doesn't adjust if there is no resistance.this can only be achieved by a trained technician.I had to pay �90 for a mechanic to come out and do this for me.I also had to buy alot of new washes,bolts and seals to replace the old ones.look into how much it will cost to have it done by a local mechanic before you attempt to do it yourself as they will be 30 to 40 percent cheaper than a Peugeot dealer and you will save even more if you buy the clutch kit yourself first.good luck

Further Info

Haynes manual a must. Problems found when trying to remove the Allen bolts that hold gear box to engine. Allen keys too springy and risk rounding the heads, buy a set that fit a 1/2" drive ratchet especially an 8mm. Also difficult to remove right hand drive shaft from intermediate bearing. Bottom ball joints held in again by Allen bolts, very poor access to get a key in. Mine were rounded so had to grind them off and replace with height tensile nuts and bolts. Undo the front drive shaft nuts at the hubs before you take the wheels off, they are so tight. Good luck if you do attempt it.Pete
