ive been looking through the service history of my 340 dl 1.4 (cvt) and ive noticed that its never had a new clutch.... altho the clutch has no problems at the moment im thinking that it will need replacing before long.

my question is does anybody here know where i can get a clutch kit for this car?? as im having trouble finding one that can be fitted to a 340 1.4 with a cvt transmission as these are different,.

ant help appreciated

cheers :)

My vario is 31 years old, and still on its first clutch. The question is really, whether the clutch gap is adjusted correctly.

If you do need a new clutch though, try this thread for details. You'll also need new adjustment shims.

Go to mac's article in the "Tech resources" section and scroll down to "Checking and adjusting the centrifugal clutch. "
