Clutch replacement - not a Saxo

[RJ303]

Ok I know its not strictly in the right place but Im looking for a quick response so here goes

Does anyone on here know how to or have experience of changing a clutch on a manual 07 Toyota Aygo? A mate of mine is wanting to do this and has a friend that has said he can do it but he's now talking about dropping the engine out as access is a problem - I think hes a little clueless as I understand its only a 3 hour job.

If anyone has info or links to info this would really help :y: sax p'ers never fail usually :A:

am i correct in thinking the aygo is the same underneath as the c1? if so then it's a simple job. i helped my mate do one in a c1 in around about half that time...and i'm no mechanic. the only way i could think of there being an access problem is if he doesn't take the gearbox off :drink:

no haynes. my mate used to be a mechanic at citroen though. we had the car on axle stands and there was definately not a problem with access. the hardest bit about the job was lining the gearbox up when we were putting it back on

absolute piece of wee wee, only one simpler is a punto, nice access all round, nice light gearbox too!

nice light gearbox too!

that's debatable when you've got sore arms and the little s**t won't line up :p

yep but when you consider i cut my teeth man handling lorry and landrover gearboxes, anythings light lol

Piece of urine gearbox to remove.

If he's contemplating removing the engine to get at the gearbox I wouldn't be taking advise off him
