Is there a guide anywhere to changing the clutch on a N/A flat four? I just aquired a legacy for the a straight swap of a rover 620 , its had new rear bearings and brakes all round recently and only done 78k but the clutch is quite simply goosed. Ive got a clutch kit here and Im guessing its best to lift the engine? Im not shy with a set of spanners and there isnt much I dont have in the way of tools.

JGM on here did a write up of a gearbox removal which is essentially what you need.

Thanks but a bit too late, done the clutch swap in just 3 hours along with alt belt and filters. Not too bad considering Ive never worked on a flat four before. I just whipped the engine out, hardest part was freeing the bell housing from the steel dowels, must of been a genius that decided steel dowels were required in an alloy block, cue the rust.

well done mate i have got mine to do soon, just got a 2nd hand standard flywheel and got it skimmed picking up a new bearing for the flywheel and a rear main oil seal tomorrow then pick a clutch kit and a dry weekend to do it...and hope it cures my notchy gear changes if not box off again and new synicros for me but i do hope not.
