VDub_Steve 1 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 this may be funny if the clutch i bought wasn't f@cked after 10,000 miles! Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I've not done one before but willing to give you a hand if you decide to do it yourself. Link to post Share on other sites
VDub_Steve 1 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 was thinking of doing it on my own as i really dont have much money how far off the floor would car need to be do you think? Link to post Share on other sites
tjsmudger 2 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 £200 by a pal of mine who's a vw mechanic. Another pal was too impatient as our mechanic friend was away and took his vr6 Corrado to national clutch centre and got his hat nailed on to the tune of £957. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 All four wheels off the ground on heavy duty axle stands will be enough. Link to post Share on other sites
VDub_Steve 1 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 only have 2 axle stands with dont match height wise lol i really have no clue on how to change clutch i quit college before they taught me how lol Link to post Share on other sites
DanH 1 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 definitly do it yourself....its a good experience and u'll have so much more confidence once its done. u only need 2 axel stands....i did mine on 2 cheapo halfords ones with a screw driver through one to get them even on the street too! u may need a friend to help u get it back in, especially if u dont drain it, cos it can be a biatch to get back in on ur own!

bungy 2 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 How come it only lasted 10k miles before? Link to post Share on other sites
VDub_Steve 1 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 dunno mate couldn't be riding clutch or spirited driving because it was a stage 3 6 puck it should have been able to take shit loads of abuse lol Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 i would give you a hand as i've mashed a few clutches myself... but west sussex is a bit too much if a trek for a northerner like me! Link to post Share on other sites
