Broken Clutch On Xs

[Miguelhbx 2]

Hey guys, my XS broke it's clutch last sunday, and the pages that explain how to replace it are missing from the haynes manuel i've got.

I just wanted to know the procedings and what tools will I need , to see if I can fix it home or I need to take it to the shop.

 

And other thing, starting next month, this car will go from daily driver, to a night-only and weekend car, and I usually just beat the crap out of the thing, will a regular replacement clutch ( I'm getting a LUK one) deal with for a few more years or should I reeinforce it (and if so, how?)

 

Thanks

be careful when removing the bolts that attach the gearbox to the block, I managed to wreck most of mine last time and had to get the angle grinder out. I then replaced them with some new ones

Chapter 6 is also missing from that version...

It's weird that all the versions available lack the same chapter.

So, about the tools, is there anything "unregular" that I need to have?

For instance, taking out the gearbox, i'm going to need something to support it under the car?

a block of wood and a trolley jack i found works quite well. and maybe a crowbar to help split the box from the block. and lots of lubrication of some sort.

 

i found they helped when i did mine
