Re: Clutch
Wow thanks for all the replys guys. It sounds easier than I thought and cheaper too.

Re: Clutch
Hardest bit is probably aligning the clutch but even that's not hard.
I would recommend buying a clutch alignment tool though, they are cheap and save messing around lining the clutch up by eye.

Re: Clutch
It depends on the tool really... I've got one of the Draper blue plastic ones and I find it easier by eye than using the tool!

Re: Clutch
nah they are shit you want the metal ones that have all different attachments...
or the first motion shaft out of an old gearbox
the alignment tools that come with the XTD clutches look quite good. I'd be tempted to get an XTD next time I need a clutch mostly for that tool haha

Re: Clutch
Yeah I've got one of those ones, after I used it a few times the plastic end that fits in the clutch plate center hole have gone too flexible and it stopped doing up tight enough, so the clutch plate wobbles around a bit
the other thing is, with my weird gearbox not coming out issue (I have to take the rad off and tilt the engine forwards) the blue draper one wont fit in the bell housing... so I have to take the rad off to change the clutch!
first motion shaft is the best as its only about 3" long
wish I'd spent £15 on a metal one instead of £9 for a plastic one in the first place! never mind

Re: Clutch
I would recommend that you drain the gearbox oil as the first job. Sometimes things don't entirely according to plan and you may find yourself putting the gearbox at severe angles whilst trying to remove it or getting it back in. The last thing you want is oil dripping about on your new clutch. Just refill it back through the gearlever hole when you are ready.
