❓ QUESTION Has it been confirmed that Emira clutch requires engine out removal ?

[kratedisease]

Just wondering ....if it has been confirmed that clutch replacement is an engine out removal procedure for the EMIRA ?,...... as it was on Evora. ?

Any confirmed accurate shop manual time costs involved for the parts and labor ?

This video claim its a $10k cost for the Evora, but that seems on the high side ?

I know the clutch is good for many many miles, but just wondering.....

looks like it, step 1 in the service manual is to remove the engine

Yep, still gotta pull the engine. I've heard indie shops charge ~$5-6k and dealers anywhere from $8-11k. 😔

Is the flywheel in the Emira a dual mass ?

I thought a UK dealer found a method to replace the clutch without engine pull in an Evora, but never got this confirmed?

But yes, based on the service manual, the engine needs to go out for a clutch replacement which is a missed opportunity. However the Emira does have more space in the engine bay due to the firewall being moved closer to the driver but the limiting factor is likely the steel subframe which wasn't widened from Evora -> Emira and is basically a carry over.

For 5k to 11k, ill do it myself. It might take me a month, but ill do it myself.

Agreed. And I'll pledge a case of Hudson Valley's best hard cider to the first owner to film and share a step-by-step video of Emira clamshell removal (in a method that inspires confidence).

How many miles are people getting out of their evora clutches? (typical street driving; excluding those who track)

 

[silent cilantro]

not sure, pinned comment on this video says 60k miles

It's just nuts and bolts right?

So I've got 12 years to prepare.

It isn't a clamshell. The rear body has separate panels which when removed allow access to remove and replace the engine and it's ancillaries.

About as long as we’ve been waiting for the cars, amirite?
