Need ramps really,

Gearbox out
Clutch plate/cover off
Re machine flywheel/replace
Put back together

Its not an easy job for a first time, you need up to 3 people to move the box around to locate it (purely as they weigh so much even on a craddle)

My advice would be if you don't have ramps, air tools or a lifting craddle, go to a specialist


As for clutches, there are many cheap alternatives around, though I would always recommend a standard genuine subaru clutch or Helix/AP for an uprated version

you can either remove the engine to do it.. or remove the box.. it can be done on a garage floor but you need it a little higher than average axlestands.. maybe 4 Inch higher.. also jack up the rear as well to help remove the prop.

as said remove the box.. (release clutch arm / fork), linkage prop.. speedo cable / sensor / cables..

unbolt clutch cylinder.. unbolt all bolts remove.. as above really..

I have done gearboxes on the garage floor... see projects thread for me refitting a 6spd.. into MY94.. took 30mins..

Just need a good jack with fairly high lift.

also done them on ramps with a transmission stand.. still not convinced it was easier..

Both P20SPD and I have posted pics / instructions.

Question

Mmmm, just starting to slip. Car is 8 yrs old with 65k on the clock.

Is this easy to change yourself ?

Does the engine require removal ?

Any special tools needed ?

Edited to add - What clutch should I replace this with ?? Car running around 300bhp

Just away to read any previous threads
