Replaced your own clutch? Advice and suggestions please.
#1
I'm looking to replace the clutch in my STi4 and would be interested in hearing from anyone who has previously done this themselves and could offer any advice/the procedure.
I would also be interested in comments regarding whether I should fit a replacement STi clutch assembly or one of the AP kits (or similar).
I have been quoted £600 plus labour for an STi clutch at a dealer, but I would rather eat my postman's socks than pay that sort of money!
What have you guys paid?
Neil.

Re-machined flywheel
Spigot bearing
Release bearing
Helix clutch plate and cover
Fully synth gearbox oil
It takes 4-5 hours.

Hi Neil
No, this is with a Helix. The Helix has a better feel and higher torque rating. An STi clutch would be cheaper, but I'll have to check on parts prices as its been a while.

Hi David.
I'd given up on you! You began giving me a day by day blow of your progress a couple of months back but then fizzled out.
I'd assumed you just scrapped the car
I'll drop you an e-mail.
