Hi chaps,
1) Basically, is it easier and probably less hassle just to pull the engine out to change the clutch/plate/bearing ?
2) Never changed a clutch (somehow got away with it for 10 years!) so is it just take old stuff of plop new one on), or do I have to remove gearbox etc?
I don't have the money to replace much else so not looking for an answer of 'you may as well replace other stuff so pull it out'. (Well no money till my wife starts working anyway).
I am fairly competant home mechanic and installed various engines in various cars and repaired many cars, but the clio is worse than a mini to work on for space, and I really don't want to bugger anything up.
I have a haynes book of lies somewhere for the clio.
Thanks guys,
Matthew
