My clutch is starting to slip on the 6 and was reading the FAQ on replacement. It all sounds reasonably straightforward but was just wondering what the real life experience is of this for anyone who's tackled it before? Euros have a sale on and their Valeo clutch kits are at a decent price so was thinking of fitting it myself. If I decided to get a garage to do it for me, how much should I be expecting to pay do you think?

Cheers everyone.

Will need 2 of you to put box back on as it's a biatch to get the fork behind the bearing and the box lined up at the same time

Lining the box back up is a massive pain. The only other thing that people struggle on it removing the clutch arm lever pin but there are plenty of threads on how to do that.

It's a lot easier if you can hang the engine and the gearbox from upside.
Once you aligned the shaft and its in, before pushing the gearbox in align the fork and push in the box little by little making sure the fork is in place, and only after its all in, put the upper bush of the fork.
And remove the stud of the gearbox mount!! It'll make your life a lot easier!!
Last thing, make sure the clutch kit bring the centering tool in it, its just a piece of plastic to center de disc, it helps a lot!!!
