My mechanical units shop manual (Mercian reprint of AR 1984 manual) for
the Alfetta, Giulietta, GTV, and Alfa 90 shows the slave cylinder in
front for all except 90 2.5i and 90 2.4td. I'm doing this from memory,
and I think the 90 2.4td also has a twin-plate clutch. The 75s however,
only had a single plate clutch, but they probably retained the same
transaxle castings etc from the GTV6 and 90 2.5i and 2.4td.
