Gonna be having my engine out soon to put in my other valver, gonna change the clutch and gearbox. Is there any trick to changing the clutch? Or is it a simple unbolt old and bolt on new?
They're tight thats for sure, its down to personal prefrence, if theres no time limit I'd drop the lot out, as its a pain in the neck working your ass off for hours only to realise its too tight & remove it all anyway.
Do you know the donor cars Clutch/Gearbox are in good nick?
But, on the topic of how to do it in the car, my personal preference would be to remove the drivers side engine mount as well as passengers and move the engine as far across in the bay as possible. Then you have enough room to get at the clutch without having to touch the subframe etc. It's a bit tight for the lower bolts on the clutch but you can easily get to them by just turning the engine over by hand so as to bring them to the top.
