    My willy engine needs a new clutch too. I don't think i'll go for standard, i'm sick of wearing them out

    Are there any decent clutches that can take a bit of stick that aren't stiff as fook on the pedal?

    Mate its not too bad, 9 hours is about right, drop subframe, box off and clutch out, easy as pie

    Recon i could prolly do it in less than 9 hours

    Its also just finding time to do this aswell, i travel to uni in the week so need my car everyday, and drive to work on the weekend... but the more i use the car the worse the clutch gets!

    hhmmmm... is it worth skiving a weekend off work to play about in the garage with my car

    And what clutch should i go for, theres so many too choose lol!
