Title: Engine is out....
Post by: mrfitz on August 04, 2004, 07:38:10 PM
Took my engine out today, couldn\'t believe how straight forward the process was!!
Ended up with some cuts and an aching neck though.  I had trouble with the 14mm bolts on the bell housing, what a pain to reach!

I have a question, if I post a pic of the clutch plate, can someone tell me the condition?  I\'ve had a look but don\'t know what worn would look like.

Thanks,
Mark.

Don\'t muck about, change it while it\'s out - £295 the complete clutch with release bearing.
