My son has been complaining of slipping when in 5th ... so needs to replace clutch.
1992 200tdi 110
I believe that the 130 clutch is a heavier duty unit and same size etc, so thought we would go that way, along with replacing throwout bearing .. anything else we should be considering?
ALSO
(1) have access to a two hoist vehicle hoist, so proposed to lower the gearbox on a jack, and lift the body (ie rest of the vehicle), rather than 'lower' the gearbox with an engine crane through the floor. (maybe should use a transmission jack?)
Had a look/search here but there seems to be few users who have done this clutch change themselves, so advice please on strategies etc ...
(2) anything we should be looking to do to gearbox (250k) while it is out?
Thanks
