getting at the clutch

[yaris9876]

I am noticing a shudder in the clutch now and then. My hatch has 388K.
Is it hard to get at the clutch to replace it???pics...

:eyebulge::eyebulge::eyebulge: Congratulations!

I would do the test (I've done it at two different points during my ownership) listed on this YW link:

The test = post #12 on this link. Just takes a few minutes in any parking lot.
Then you'll know if you can put on more miles before it needs replacement.

I didn't really answer your question :redface:, as I don't have that answer...but I'd still do the test I mentioned on the previous post. Good luck!:thumbsup:

There is a little plastic cover that you can pop on the bottom of the engine to peek into the bell housing. I didn't snap any pictures of that before I removed and separated the engine and tranny from Crashy #3. And, they are now both at James' (Jerkratt's) house.
