Evening all
My Father in law (80 yrs) has an Apr-97 20v Turbo, which hasn’t been used very much in the last +5yrs. I took it for a service late last year and questions were raised regarding the age of the Cambelt, which no one can remember when. Also the Power Steering pump needs replacing as noiser than the Longlife exhaust ! However, the item which we are having issues locating is a Clutch kit. Does anyone know of anyone who may have a kit in stock ? Also, any advice on any clutch variations which we need to aware of. We don’t think that he will be driving again, but he is very keen to resolve all the issues and for us the drive. Many thank all

Hi Ali and welcome to the forum

Valeo was a go-to traditionally but they're hard to get now.

Autodoc has a Sachs clutch left

here

But I can't vouch for its quality I'm afraid - maybe someone else knows?

Have a look at CG clutches.
They have plenty of options and can provide a standard clutch kit from stock.
Give them a call.

The correct clutch assuming your car is a 20vt 5 speed is a valeo 821251

If it’s a 6 speed it’s a valeo 821360, although the 6 speed clutch fits the 5 speed the springs catch on the flywheel bolts and make a clatter until they wear down l, the 5 speed fits the 6 speed no problem

You can fit the Alfa gta clutch to a coupe no problem and I’ve done it on a few occasions, it’s a valeo 826319 and they are cheaper

Any other brand you buy will be a valeo in the box

Further to French coupes recommendation, Mick at CG
clutches can also reline your original friction plate. I’ve having mine relined as we speak with a Kevlar material , and then will refit my used cover plate and release bearing and they are in a good condition

Cheers Jamie

Many thanks for all your help all, very much appreciated, with some great tips, suggestions and ideas. Thank you also for being so welcoming

Hi, I have eventually got in contact with CG Clutches and have provided make, model, vin number, bhp, lb-ft, mth and year of registration, but now they are asking for the engine number. Would anyone be able to point me in the direction to be able to locate, presuming on the block somewhere ?
Many thanks

A search for "engine number" (with quotes) will display this thread https://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum...number-20v-turbo-where-is-it#Post1648501

But also, if you still have the original engine, typing your VIN into ePer will give the engine number (substitiute a zero for the "P" on the VIN)

Even with the engine on a stand, it's still hard to see the number...

Many thanks DaveG, yes original engine and managed to locate all details on per. What an amazing site, and extremely useful. Thank you again

Sooo, CG Clutches are now asking - Do you have a push or pull type?
They are also suggesting a Paddle clutch. Having never seen a Coupe clutch, would that be correct ?
Car is totally standard, owned for ~ 25 yrs

It’s a pull clutch, and make sure you buy a new thrust release bearing .

As the car is standard you can just get CG clutches to re-line your original friction plate with organic material , probably needs a new cover plate in case of age related fatigue, but these guys can sort it all out for you

Cheers Jamie

Many thanks Jamie. If I was doing myself and had time I would get them to recline, however many father-in-law wants a local mechanic to do with the cambelt and powersteering pump, and it’s his money.
