Hi Tom,

I replaced my clutch recently but couldnt find a write up - I was advised to start here:

This is is just a gearbox replacement write up but with the exception of 8 bolts round the clutch and aligning tool to align the clutch this is really good..

The changing of the clutch isnt that bad, just time consuming, the wrost part is getting the gearbox on again.

Some find an engine crane helpfull, some manage on jacks, but essentially that link above is the best bet

I've done three clutch/gearbox changes...

I'll keep your offer in mind. I have no intention of doing another myself again :mrgreen:

Did my 4th(ish) just before christmas, it's fun Garrick. :lol:

Even thought the clutch was for a Mk1b and the flywheel was a Mk1a (car had a Corolla engine transplant and the EPC said it had a b flywheel as well). ](*,) Thanks Tim for the spare flywheel. :lol:
