#1: Time for a new clutch - Any advice? Author: FrankAteMyName, Location: TewkesburyPosted: Sun Apr 10, 2016 1:03 am ---- Hi again,
Yesterday discovered my clutch to be slipping a moderate amount. Naturally I want to fix it myself but with limited knowledge on the subject I was hoping someone on here would be kind enough to lend me a hand.
I have searched around on here but I don't suppose anyone can point me in the direction of a good how to or just some pointers would be great.
Thanks again for the help

Remove shafts, battery including box & tray, airbox.
Disconnect gear linkages, sensors on box and earth lead.
remove starter motor (3 bolts at the back)
remove gearbox mount and botls, box should just fall off with a little bit of persuasion.
remove clutch pressure plate & friction plate, check the flywheel isn't scored,
Fit new clutch pressure & friction plate making sure it's lined up properly.
Change the diff seals and the sleeve over the input shaft on the box and put it all back together.
