6/10/08 - Changing the Clutch

Wow! Little did I know what this would involve when I started. Previously I have changed the clutch on my SJ410 which was not simple, but was a reasonably acheivable task. However the Jimny is a different matter. All in all it has take nearly 3 weeks of various evenings (probably about 16 working hours in all) to do. Everything is against you, basically the bolts are all hidden and very stiiff and there is no space to work in. The Suzuki workshop manual was clearly written by someone sitting in a nice clean, air-conditioned office which was nowhere near a real vehicle.

Anyway - its done and I have written it up for you to read. Just click on THIS LINK for the full story!

To put it simply, this is not for the feint hearted, you will bang your head, scrap your knuckles and strain your neck on this one. However, on the brightside you will save £380 compared with my local Dealer price for the work.
