Default ahhh clutch has gone

been fine since ive had car the took off before and was revving but not going very fast, then started smelling really bad, would the clutch just let go like that, are they easy to replace or would it be better being done in a garage thanks

horrible job m8 especially if the box hasnt been out before-allow a lot of time as its odds on all of the bugs bolts underneath will be seized solid by now - you need car well up on the jacks to do it from underneath - if you can get a engine crane and have the space take engine and box out in oner instead

dont mean to put you off m8 just dont take this job on lightly - if you need advice just post - most of us have been where you are now

iain.

The clutch isnt that bad to do. I done mine on classic last week done it in 2 hrs. Soak all bolts especially downpipe bolts in wd40 before i had the pleasure of a pit and airgun dont think it would be nice on the floor.
One way of lookin at it can you afford approx £150 labour or would u rather spend a day doing it yourself :-)

Should have spent £20 more and got an Exedy clutch. Which make did you get?
