How long does it take to change a clutch on a type 4 single handed? We are supposed to leave for France at 6am! What is the quickest method- anyone? (at least it happened locally- got home in second gear!)
I did do mine on my own once but I definitely wouldn't recommend it as it took far too long and it wasn't easy. With another pair of hands I'd say it's a 2/3 hour job. All the best. If you were nearer I'd offer to help as I know how if feels, my camper packed up half an hour before we left for the lakes last year.
Phew- just finished, test run OK. Glad it happened near to the place I bought it. They let me change the cable on their courtyard but it was no good so they sold me a clutch and I limped home in second gear. Managed to change it on my own, too (five and a half hours). Not the most fun I've had. I had to take off the towbar and oil filler to get clearance but all is well. Shower time and then getting packed, then it's off to sunny France and a meet up with 'Lost en France'. Au revoir!
zed said on one thread you dont have to take engine right out just manover it enough to get at clutch... if you got a clutch to go in good luck, if your anywhere nr zed get him to advise you. im sure he would be obligine on a sat night.
