Simple Question re Clutch

[stainless1911]

Do I have to pull the motor to change the clutch?

If so, its no big deal, I just put a used motor in it last week, so It should be a pretty straightforward job.

You either pull the motor, or the tranny, which ever you prefer

[stainless1911]

Thanks. I wasnt sure if you had to pull the motor. Seems like it might be easier just to yank it, and do the clutch on the bench.

^ thats my personal preferance, others are different.

In a festiva i personally pull the motor/trans together for a clutch change

[scitzz]

Pulling the trans is pretty easy too. Whatever trips your trigger...

I like dropping the trans, cause I can do that in 45 minutes to an hour depending on how stuck the bolts are. Should be quicker now with my cordless impact.

I like standing underneath as opposed to bending over the top ..to many surgeries !

On a festiva there isn't much of either, they come out quick.

Is that herculiner?

depends what you have for a shop. i have a hoist with a trans jack so about 30min and ive got the trans on the ground. if you just have an engine hoist you can pull the motor and trans together. either way its pretty easy.

Gotta come out the top. Im just so grateful to have a furnace in the garage.

Not even going to lie I had the hardest time changing a tranny on stock festiva. On a stock one I would just pull the whole thing.

^^hell I pull the motor/trans together on my festiva for any clutch/tranny work, it's probably easier for me that way haha

[Grey Vw]

Or the only way
