[Jackman]

Exactly.

if you do the job to quick. you aint doing it right in my head.

Took me 2 days to change my gearbox lol.

[smearsvtr]

why do you want to rush it

so i can get out and about again its not exactly rocket science on a saxo compared to some of the stuff i work on.

[MiniGibbo]

he dont even need to take the gear box out of the car jsut pushes it to the side

watching 'The Garage' the other day and they said that its 12-14 to do a clutch on a F430, crazy!

(all my mechanical knowledge is from that programme, dont believe any of my advice)

[RICKYP-RPM]

i can do the saxo clutch in around 2 hours on my back (no ramp) and thats on my own.

[Adum]

anyone in the SE area who fancies doing mine? lol

thats because there paddle shift i think, gotta take the engine out of a midengined car, swap clutch then repressurise the sequential shift.
the subaru WRC team do he same in 30 mins lol

[Raz]

on the 430 you dont need to take the engine out, the box is @ the rear so can just take that off and get into the clutch.;)

[hesslevtr]

on a saxo around 2 hours

old vauxhalls 30 mins

old fords around an hour

[John]

What way do u lot change the clutch on a saxo drop the box? on some cars its easier and sometimes a tad quicker to take engine out as there sometimes no space to get in my 1.1 beast needs it doing but cant really be arsed.

[Dar-Bar_Vtr]

well the only ever citroen iv done a clutch on is a berlingo,diesel..took just under 2 hours..cant beat the gd old vauxhalls tho with the little plate n pull bk the shaft fs do them in bout 20 mins lol.

[Dar-Bar_Vtr]

the 1.1 just drop it, nvr had to take an engine out b4 to do a gearbox..personaly just...

[boz]

i fitted my twin plate clutch by myself.
took about 10hrs by myself, in the car the first time lol

only time my dad helped, was to chop 5mm off the ap racing bolts that hold the cover on. re fitted it, only for the thing to be jammed solid, turns out my dad had not chopped one of the bolts and it was too long!! lmbo, hence how long it took.

next time round, was only a few hours.

peice of cake to do now, i never had a clue the first time ;)

[gazza808]

1 and half hours with no problems, thats not rushing at all,
easy job once you've done it a few times

[djrem]

i did mine with the engine out.

still havent turned it over so its now 2 months and counting

[smearsvtr]

done it now took 2 and a half and that envolved walking up the road to get a maccys and some new gearbox oil
