Cheap Alfa Romeo Spider Clutch Master Cylinder

Only some Alfa Romeo Spiders have a clutch master cylinder — specifically those fitted with a manual gearbox. Spiders sold with an automatic gearbox (including the Selespeed automated-manual on some variants) do not use a conventional clutch master cylinder, so before searching for this part you should confirm your car has a traditional manual clutch pedal. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm your gearbox type before ordering.

The Alfa Romeo Spider (916 series) ran from 1995 to 2005, and the second-generation Spider (939 series) ran from 2006 to 2010, so a 2007 and a 2010 car are both 939-series and are more likely to share components than cars from different generations. That said, there were detail changes across the 939 production run, and whether a specific unit crosses those years cleanly is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations. Supplying your engine code — found on your V5 or via a VIN check — will give the breaker the best chance of matching the part correctly.

Yes, engine code is the most important detail for this part — the clutch master cylinder can vary between the different engines offered in the Spider range, including the 2.2 JTS, 3.2 V6, and 2.4 JTDm diesel variants of the 939-series. A part from a diesel car may not be correct for a petrol car even if the years match, so always lead with your engine code when contacting a breaker. The engine code appears on your V5 registration document or can be retrieved via a VIN check.

Trim level does not affect which clutch master cylinder your Spider needs — the mechanical components follow the engine and gearbox, not the badge or specification level. Whether your car is a standard Spider or a higher-specification variant, the relevant details are engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type. Quote these to the breaker rather than the trim name and you will get a much more reliable match.

These are two distinct generations with different engines, bodyshells, and hydraulic systems, so a 916-series clutch master cylinder is very unlikely to be a direct fit for a 939-series car. The 916 and 939 series should be treated as separate searches entirely, and you should make clear to the breaker which generation you have. Confirming your engine code alongside the generation will help the breaker locate the correct unit quickly.

Selespeed is an automated-manual system that uses an electro-hydraulic actuator to operate the clutch rather than a conventional hydraulic master cylinder and pedal, so the two systems are not directly interchangeable. If your Spider is Selespeed-equipped and you are having clutch actuation problems, the component you are likely looking for is part of the Selespeed hydraulic unit rather than a traditional clutch master cylinder — confirm this with the breaker, who may ask for your registration to identify the exact system fitted.
