Has anyone ever changed a clutch in a sw20 n/a if so how easy is it, how long will it take, what tools do I need,

I did the clutch in my rev4 n/a and it was an utter b1tch to get out but putting it back together was a doddle! Even managed one of my "light weight modifications" as I couldn't remember where one of the bell housing bolts went ! It's DIY-able in half a day and that includes a few tea breaks and bacon sarnies :eye: If your other person is pick able I'd go for superman ( x-ray vision strength etc.) maybe a Toyota technician would be 2nd choice :-k

I did mine on my rev1. It was ok, wd40 the starter motor it took me ages to free it off the dowels. Other than that its ok, I didn't even have to drain the coolant. Is advise checking your torque mount before you do the job. As they are rubbish on n.as it will prob fall apart when you undo the bolt, if it does upgrade to a turbo one there bigger, if you don't you will get savage judder
