Re: Advice on a 244 turbo 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be Les Lyne on  Mon Dec 18 10:51 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Last time I checked, "Gapa" (www.gapa.com) had a clutch kit for $100.00 - included pressure plate, disc, TO bearing, and an alignment tool. I assume the quality is acceptable; if it is, that's a pretty good price (1 1/2 years ago I spent $200.00 on a 1974 Alfa GTV clutch set).

I echo Don's sentiments: Absolutely replace the rear main seal when the transmission is off the engine. And you might want to consider replacing the 4th gear OD switch (maybe even the solenoid) at the same time.

A question to the guys who have experience in removing an M46: Is it really that difficult? Recently I helped a friend replace his rear main seal on a 1986 244 that had an auto transmission. With a regular floor jack and some elbow grease, it wasn't too tough to get out at all - but maybe an M46 is more difficult?
