How hard is it to change the clutch in my car? I have a manual and I have changed clutches in my Truck but never in a front wheel drive car

Hi there, the main difference is that part of the suspension must be dismantled to be able to remove the drive shafts, the gearbox is a hand full as the dill makes it very lop sides and hard to manage, this can be a problem with re fitting as the box must be offered up square and level for the splines to align on the input shaft, doing this on the ground with just jacks is not much fun, also you will need an engine support brace to carry the weight of the engine while the gear box is removed.
