How have you centred the clutch plate?
Bad luck about the OMP - any reason?

Well I have the clutch in now.... i didn't have the clutch plate aligned properly... anyway. I have read the "sticky" on gearbox oil, and I have 2 questions...
1. do you really use the dipstick hole to put in the new oil?? Its too small!
2. does it say in the owners manual the actual required amount of gear box oil ( in liters)?
3. does anyone have any recommendation on the exact specific gearbox oil to use - manufacture and product names please???
thanks, JimN..
I may even get this thing working this week! I Cant believe how difficult it is to put the starter motor back in!

I would just use any well known brand that meets the requirements - can't go far wrong

you might as well put a GL-5 in the gearbox, iof it's the correct viscosity.... superior characteristics...
Just a summary about changing the 155 Q4 clutch on a garage floor.
Yes, it can be done. it took me a LONG time to get the gearbox out by myself, as I had no idea about how to do it.
With a skilled helper (also with no 155 specific knowledge) we put the clutch in, gearbox on and did the 1000 other little things that need doing to reassemble the car in about 8 hours.
I think I could do the job with a helper now in a weekend - but there'd be no time for beers.
Also, as an aside, I used a clutch for a Lancia Delta EVO II. The clutch plate is about 5mm bigger in diameter.
