Title: 56 plate clit 1.2 clutch
Post by: tigers_gonads on 02 February 2016, 16:02:01

What are these like to change ?

Any awkward bits ?

Special tools needed ?

Can it be done off your back (at the roadside) ?

TIA  :)

I was asked to do one of these recently  but book time of 7 hours and most of the front end off  whilst doing it on the driveway put me off.  There's probably a quicker easier way but I didn't fancy the risk. 
Good luck if you decide to do it.

Yep subframe out or at least lowered a lot on passenger side,you gotta undo it to drop it so may as well lose it,gearbox is easy then :y

SAC unit to aren't  they?

You can get round this by tightening the pressure plate bolts half a turn at a time to clamp it up evenly, alternative is a pricey tool

Not a job for a 50 year old fat bastard lying in the gutter on a nice cold February day then  ::)

He has been quoted 285 all in from a clutch specialist down the road  :-\
I'll pass all that on to him.

Cheers Lads  :)
