hi guys,since i bought the avant a few weeks ago its had what feels like clutch judder so im gonna rip the gearbox out soon to replace the clutch and flywheel but just wondered has anyone done one and what needs removing like exhaust or subframe etc or will it come out without having to remove that,ive not had chance to have a look underneath yet properly.
i used to be a mechanic so shouldnt really struggle but thought i'd ask on here see if anyone done one,im even toying about with taking it with the engine as one lump as ive got to do the cambelt too and im removing the front end to do that i might do the clutch at the same time rather than mess around underneath too much?
 
Just take the engine out and fit the cambelt at the same time !
