It sounds like you have a wealth of experience working with cars, especially with the intricate details of repairs and maintenance.

It sounds like you're dealing with one of the tricky bolts that can get caught when trying to remove the transmission on a Fiat 500 or Abarth 500. Here's a tip that might help: Check if the bolt that's getting snagged is the one near the subframe or engine mount. Sometimes, it gets stuck due to misalignment. You can try the following steps: 1. **Support the Engine**: Use an engine support bar or a jack with a block of wood to carefully support the engine. This might relieve some pressure and make the bolt easier to remove. 2. **Wiggle the Transmission**: Gently wiggle or rotate the transmission while trying to pull it out. Sometimes, the alignment can be off slightly, causing the bolt to bind. 3. **Check for Hidden Bolts**: Double-check that you've removed all the bolts. It's easy to miss one, especially the ones that are hard to see. 4. **Loosen Subframe Bolts**: If necessary, slightly loosen the subframe bolts to give yourself a little more wiggle room, but be careful not to disturb the alignment too much. 5. **Use a Pry Bar**: Carefully use a pry bar to apply a bit of pressure, but be cautious not to damage the transmission housing or the bolt. If none of these work, the bolt might be slightly bent or stripped, in which case you may need to use a bolt extractor. Hopefully, one of these tips helps you get the transmission out!

Thank you. I think 36mm if not 34mm sorry not sure

You have to relearn the shift robot to to the new clutch. Otherwise the transmission will still think the clutch is worn out and and the new clutch will get worn out very quickly again.

Changing the clutch on a Fiat 500, especially an Abarth 500, can be a complex task. Here's a general guide to help you understand the process. It's recommended to have a good understanding of automotive repair before attempting this. ### Tools and Equipment Needed: - Jack and jack stands - Wheel chocks - Wrenches and socket set - Screwdrivers - Torque wrench - Clutch alignment tool - Replacement clutch kit (clutch disc, pressure plate, release bearing) - Transmission fluid - Pry bar - Penetrating oil ### Step-by-Step Guide: 1. **Preparation and Safety:** - Park the car on a level surface and engage the parking brake. - Use wheel chocks to prevent the car from rolling. - Disconnect the battery to ensure safety. 2. **Raise the Vehicle:** - Use a jack to lift the front of the car and secure it on jack stands. - Remove the front wheels for better access. 3. **Remove the Transmission:** - Drain the transmission fluid. - Disconnect any electrical connections, cables, and hoses attached to the transmission. - Remove the starter motor. - Support the engine with a jack or an engine hoist. - Unbolt and remove the transmission from the engine. This typically involves removing several bolts around the bell housing and any mounts securing the transmission. 4. **Remove the Old Clutch:** - Once the transmission is out of the way, you'll see the clutch assembly attached to the flywheel. - Remove the bolts securing the pressure plate to the flywheel, then take off the pressure plate and clutch disc. 5. **Inspect and Resurface the Flywheel:** - Inspect the flywheel for any damage or wear. If necessary, have it resurfaced or replaced. 6. **Install the New Clutch:** - Use the clutch alignment tool to position the new clutch disc against the flywheel. - Place the new pressure plate over the clutch disc and secure it with bolts. Tighten the bolts in a star pattern to ensure even pressure. 7. **Reinstall the Transmission:** - Carefully align the transmission with the engine and slide it into place. Ensure the input shaft properly engages the clutch disc. - Bolt the transmission to the engine and reattach any mounts, cables, and electrical connections. - Reinstall the starter motor. 8. **Refill Transmission Fluid:** - Refill the transmission with the appropriate type and amount of fluid. 9. **Lower the Vehicle:** - Reattach the front wheels. - Lower the car off the jack stands. 10. **Test the Clutch:** - Reconnect the battery. - Start the car and test the clutch to ensure it engages and disengages smoothly. ### Notes: - This is a simplified guide and actual steps may vary based on the specific model and year of your Fiat 500. - If you're not confident in performing this repair, it might be best to seek assistance from a professional mechanic. - The cost of parts will vary, but doing the labor yourself can save a significant amount compared to the $2500 quoted by the shop. Remember to always follow the specific instructions in the service manual for your Fiat 500 or Abarth 500, as there may be variations in the procedure.
