how easy is it to chnage the clutch as i may do it myself, also does anyone know why the clutch may be really stiff??

cheers

if you take your time and read the haynes its a nice easy job, with practice i changed my flywheel for a lightened one and fitted a brand new clutch in about 2 hours,

you dont even need to take the gearbox out of the engine bay.

it may only be a binding cable, is the clutch slipping ?

 

[Abbaz]

how do you want to sell it clutch on its own or does the manual come with it cause if i do buy it i need some help to fit :grinning:

if you cant be botherd to fix it sell it

or go to garage they will proberely fix it for 20 -30 quid

cable

the answer is yes the clutch does slip a bit if you give it the beans, the car has been stood a while, i may try and change the cable before i change the clutch eliminate that first

cheers

Mine was doing the same...clutch was worn down to the rivets!

Definately try it yourself though.
With parts and labour, mine came to £236

Do it yourself more than half that bill

as i say i will probably do it myself as i have the trusty haynes manual

i just didnt expect it to be the clutch as its only done 30k miles since new! ,but might as well get it checked.

changing clutch is not difficult at all - you might find getting the gearbox back on afterwards is a problem though

my first clutch kit cost me £35 and the only tool you need to fit it is a 12mm spanner a 14mm spaner and a good eye, or a piece of metal bar thet just fits down the splines in the clutch (made this myself out of some bar i had lying around)
