replacing a clutch in 81

[JJCAPE]

I am having my mechanic put a new clutch in tonight but he does not have alot of experience with Fiat so is there anything out of the ordinary i should tell him ???? kind of an open ended question but I though you guys would be the best place to start.

Thanks so much from Cape Cod

Hi JJ: Sorry I can't help you on the clutch, but being in Foxboro, I wondered where you are located on the Cape? And have you found ANY Fiat experienced mechanics down there?

There is not much to it, it is a simple dry clutch with a mechanical release. From underneath the car he will unhook the driveshaft from the transmission. He has to either replace the rubber donut or install a clamp over yours to hold it in place during removal (and keep the clamp on it until reinstalled).

Give the guy your shop manual as a reference.
