Everything needed for a clutch replacement?

JackU · Jul 14, 2019

I've a got 300TDI 1996 Defender 90. My clutch is on it's way out (it's done 200000 miles mind).

I dont think this is something I'm going to tackle myself to I'll take it to a garage to get it done, but before I start asking around for some quotes I just want to know exactly what I need to ask for.

Obviously I know I need the clutch, I've read that people have said about getting the clutch fork replaced at the same time, so I would probably do that. What about a flywheel? Is it worth getting that with the clutch?

Is there anything I've missed?

I've got a leak from my gearbox so I'd ask them to diagnose that as well and potentially repair.

Extra points:
Can anyone reccomend a clutch? (I mainly do motorway and town and city driving).
What kind of price would I be looking to pay for a garage to do all of this?

Yes but not sureyou will need the bush but for 79p get it anyway. Unless the teeth on the flywheel are worn/ missing, no need to change it.

Just a had a quick look for flywheel. Looks around £300 so let's hope I dont need to replace that!

Might as well replace the input shaft bush while he's on, Mick.

Check LOF, Luke has some brilliant new parts which will help in the long run. As well as some great clutch kits at very good prices

They look good. Seen them at a couple of shows. Hopefully they will be at Kelmarsh in a couple of weeks and then I might be able to pick one up slightly cheaper

I doubt it very much.

I have just done my clutch, as a fitted a recon gearbox, the chance of needing a flywheel is vitually zero, my engine has 307k on it and has not needed a replacment. I used the below:

UQB000130G - 130 (HD) clutch plate
URB100760G - clutch cover
FTC5200HD - HD release bearing (considered the LOF version but price was too steep for me)
FTC2957HDKIT - HD release fork kit (fork, slipper pads, plastic clips, spigot bush)

That is £172 worth of parts inc vat from paddocks where I ordered. The last time I was trying to get a garage to quote for a land rover clutch (not for a while as I do it myslef now) I struggled to find someone who was willing to do it do to the size and weight of the job.
