Changing a Clutch

[choppa7]

Has anyone had to change a clutch on a Glanza V before?

If so how difficult/involved is it?

Are there any guides which could help?

Is there a Haynes for the Starlet which could help?

Cheers for any info!

there is no haynes for a v, but there is one for a corolla with 4efe which should be the same

think the clutch is a pretty big job, r u a machanic? Took my mate about 6-9 hours on the type r civic and he's a machanic, well thats changing gearbox as well.

I've done a clutch on an old BMW quite recently but I'm no mechanic - Took me 3 days

I didnt think there'd be ahaynes for the glanza but something to give me a guideline should do the job

where abouts are you from? Geez 3 days is good effort, my other friend changed his clutch with another mate on his glanza, took them a day and a half.

I'm from the sunny north...Newcastle

As far as I can gather it shouldnt be as much work as the BM as its FWD but there wont be as much space.

I'll see if I can get hold of a corolla manual

Cheers

took my mechanic about 2-3 hours, but obv they had a ramp etc and a spare pair of hands.

Your going to want ramps to pull the car on, Also a second set of hands unless your built like arnie.

The boxes are quite heavy for such a small car.

Give yourself a good day to change a clutch, assuming you have an idea what to do.

Also purchase a clutch alignment tool, makes the job a hell of a lot easier.
