normally you remove t6he transmission to change clutch and pressure plates
is it necessary to replace the clutch plate at all as many slipping clutches can be attributed to faulty hydraulic clutch master cylinders and broken clutch cables
may be if you commented using make , model , type of equipment and symptoms of the problem so that we can get a better idea on how to advise you
jack up engine loosen trans from engine pull trans back to access the clutch assembly remove fly wheel remove clutch pressure plate and replace reassemble be careful
First you go to mechanics school so you know the basics on safety etc.
Now you can block the car up in the air and remove the driveline and all electrical and mechanical connections from the transmission. Next support the engine while you unbolt the transmission from the engine. using your transmission jack slide the transmission back far enough to get easy access to the pressure plate. remove the bolts holding the pressure plate in place and remove the old clutch. Of course you got a new clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing right? you may need a pocket bearing for the tip of the transmission input shaft as well. installing is the reverse of removing though you will have to consult the manual for torque specifications and you will need to make sure the clutch is centered before you bolt the pressure plate back down.
OR you could take it to a transmission shop and have them do it for a couple hundred bucks.,
Easily. Remove the gear box, the roller bearing is fitted to the box, so yoou dont have to worry. The clutch and plate is fixed to the engine held in with hex nuts, you'll need allan keys to remove them, remove the bolts and the clutch and pressure plate will fall away. Take the new one from the box, being carefull not to contaminate with grease or oil that is on your hands, fit the pressure plate into the clutch assembly and line up to the engine and loosly tighten up so the pressure plate will move with a little resistance. This is where the fun starts. Get your socket set handle and push it through the housing into the engine. Centralise the pressure plate as accurately as you can. Offer the gearbox slowly to the clutch and try to push it home. The pressureplate should have enought movement in it to move slightly to allow the gear box to fit. Once fitted, slowly and levelly remove the box, then tighten all of the clutch housing into place. Refit the box, tighten and go for a cup of coffee to congratulate yourself! The only other adjustments you have to make are to the clutch cable. Loosen the lock nut, loosen the adjuster bolt, tighten the adjuster bolt until the cable becomes taught, depress the clutch and you should feel the clutch release. Tighten the locknot and that's it. Hope all goes well, any problems let me know any problems let me know and I'll help. Regards, Dave.
Trans has to be either removed or unbolted & moved away from engine 3" or more to gain access to clutch assy.If you remove trans all the way Cradle needs to be removed & engine supported with special tool.Big Job On the ground!!
no remove gearbox but you might need to lower subframe to gain access ,use an engine lift to support gearbox or a block and tackle so you can pull it out and not have to lower it
You will need to either drop the transaxle, or remove the engine to access the clutch. I would drop the transaxle myself, as there are a lot of connectors on the engine, and the engine is a lot easier to support from the top with a lifting bar.
I'm pretty sure the clutch *has* to be against the flywheel, otherwise if it was directly connected the input and lay shaft would constantly spin even if the wheels were disconnected, which isn't the point of the clutch. Probably the arm for the clutch is just further along the hydraulic line at the back, rather than having it up the front. Open it the way you usually would as I can't see it working any other way.
