Hi Guys,

Looks like I am in the right place to ask this, my Suby needs a new clutch and I'm going to be the one doing the job.

Youtube research shows me there's two different approaches, engine out and transmission out, I'm wondering if there's a third possibility

Now the engine out looks easier as I don't have a car hoist, ramps or a transmission jack etc, so I'm leaning towards the engine out method.

I'm basing my research on this video

One thing I am pondering is if I remove the radiator which is part of the engine removal process, undo the engine mounts and slide it forwards, is there the possibility of having sufficient space to do it that way?

If worse comes to worse I can hire a hoist if necessary anyway.

From what I've read on here - Execy clutch kits are the go.

I'm on the northern beaches in Sydney is someone can suggest a preferred supplier, otherwise I'll ebay it

Car has ~290K kms or thereabouts so I suspect the clutch may likely have been replaced previously, was this model delivered with the dual mass flywheel?

I am hoping that it's a single mass flywheel which can just be machined, but I want to be prepared for the worst.

Is it a good idea to do the rear main seal whilst I'm in the vicinity?

Any other tips you can give me are much appreciated.

I should mention BH9 VIN and EJ25 engine in case it's relevant.

peace out

Glenn
