New owner saying hello

[Austin666]

Hello everyone ,

My name is Sean i have recently bought a red s12 with 40k on the clock will, problem is it need a new clutch. The car came with a clutch that will need fitting but it is for a 2.0 will this item fit the 1.8.

Thanks for any help/advice

Hi mate
The clutch you have is for the FJ20 engine, I dont think the Fj clutch fits the CA18
Somebody will correct me if I am wrong

hi i thinking the 18 and 2litle clutch is the same engine blocks the same pistons are bigger size measure clutch plate across on each . cheers ps welcome to the s12 site

I dont think the clutches the same - there are more bolts on the FJ20 one holding it on than the CA18. Unless of course 2.0 litre one is off a CA20

FJ20 has a much larger clutch
I know this as I have both engines

p.s that manifold nut is a right bugger to get at , got to change the turbo as this one is seized
