Re: Clutch repair
I found it to be quite simple thanks to 'Poor Richards How to Keep
your VW Rabbit Alive' book in the John Muir style 'For the Complete
Idiot' book. In it it describes making a special engine support from
above so you can support the engine and lower the trans by cranking
down a hook/bolt. Then I made a flywheel brace like the VW tool shown
in the Bently books out of a flat piece of (non)angle iron. Now I can
do a clutch on a MkI car 'in about an hour' (like lenscrafters :)).
I have also been told, and can attest the transmission -fluid is not
that heavy, and one person I know puts a jack under the engine/oil
pan, unbolts the tranny, lowers the jack some to let it swing down to
clear the firewall...he lays on his back under the tranny like a bench
press and more or less wiggles it and lets it fall on his chest. Well
not quite fall....
