RE: [alfa] clutch job in 91 Spider

[ltooz@xxxxxxxxxxxx (LLe_2002)]

Hello Andrew,
 You don't have to remove the whole console.
 1. Remove the power window/hand brake console.
 2. Remove the bolts holding the knee guards (yellow), by the door hinge each side.
 3. Remove the 2 bolts holding the main console.
 4. Remove the stereo, the face plate, the shift booth cover, make sure remove the shift knob.
 In order to remove the console face plate, you need to expand the side of the console (that's why you need to remove these bolts to losen the console) and slide it out. 
 5. After you remove the console face plate, everything is there. Make sure you use magnetic philip screw driver to remove the little screws holding the shift booth cover.

Good luck,
PS: I've done it twice this is why? Make sure the transmission shaft is not loose due to bad bearing. The bearing cause the disc to separate in 3k miles.
