vintaylor 90 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hi Guys, Am I correct in saying that the gearbox out of lotus esprit s2 should be the same as that of a citroen sm? This might be a really stupid question do to my lack of mechanical knowledge, but could it be that the lotus uses the same clutch as that of a citroen sm ? or is an entirely different setup? Thanks guys and sorry if this turns out to be a really stupid quetion lol Vin Quote Vin Taylor Link to post Share on other sites
dsvitesse1 66 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hi, not a stupid question offcourse, but clutch set up is not the same. Difference on all three parts. Not interchangeable. Quote with kind regarDS, Harry Martens www.ds-vitesse.com Link to post Share on other sites

philleech 54 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 if you do a search for triumph stag clutch a gentleman called Graeme Simpson made the initial quote. Maybe he can help? Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
