Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / September 2006Clutch renewal Range Rover
As the friction plate of my RR '81 needs to be replaced a question: I've no equipment to take the engine out. So I thought to do it from the inside of the car. Take out the gear cover plate , loosen both propshafts ,take out the bolts of the bell housing, support the engine ,loosen also the mounting bolts on the chassis. After supporting also the gearbox, move it backwards away from the engine ,and renew the clutch. Anyone done this before ? Or is there not enough space to move the gearbox far enough backwards? Maybe other problems pop up? Thks Kees > As the friction plate of my RR '81 needs to be replaced a question: > I've no equipment to take the engine out.

Kees, Voor zover ik weet kan de versnellingsbak eruit, maar dan enkel langs onderen. Ik betwijfel of er plaats genoeg is door de vloerplaat weg te nemen. Vergis je niet, de versnellings- en transferbak zijn bija even groot als de motor zelf. Je zal de zetels er ook moeten uitnemen, wat toch ook een karwei is bij de oudere RR's. Vraag me niet hoe ik dat weet ;-) Ikzelf heb reeds twee keer m'n V8 eruitgehaald ('82RR) en ware het niet dat ik de inox spaghetti-uitlaten moet demonteren zou dat niet eens zo'n karwei zijn. Je dient weliswaar de hele voorbouw en de radiator te demonteren, maar alles is vlot bereikbaar. De bouten aan de koppelingsklok kunnen wel wat problemen geven, ik heb dat destijds opgelost door een ringsleutel (Engelse maat!) te plooien zodat ik makkelijker achter de motor kon komen. Een dag voorbereiding, één dag een girafje huren, motor eruit, koppeling vernieuwen, er terug in en een dag terug monteren. Moet te doen zijn.

So he's also not sure if the clutch can be renewed as described by me. Maybe someone else knows? >>Kees, >>Voor zover ik weet kan de versnellingsbak eruit, maar dan enkel langs >>onderen.

You can on a series or 90/110 by removing the seat box and floor panels, and the gearbox tunnel piece. Even then, I ended up splitting the gearbox and T-box removing them in 2 stages, although it was a ZF auto and therefore not standard.

That's a novel experience you had there Austin ;-) Huw >>> Just got an answer from someone in Belgium who thinks the gearbox >>> can only be removed from underneath the car.
