Clutch job--from above, or from below 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike Gambone on  Tue Jan 20 13:50 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Never did it on an 850, but I have done it on a VW Golf. I removed the transaxle from below. The key is to have a solid support to hold drivetrain as on the Golf you must lower entire drivetrain an inch or so. Second is to have a like minded buddy there for the actual removal of the transaxle from the engine. With the third hand it wasn't that bad, transaxle wasn't as heavy as I thought, but the key is the third hand. Removing the entire drive train is not without it's minuses either. Draining coolant, disconnecting all hoses and electrical connectors, etc. Overall, I'd probably put it at a 6 of one, half a dozen of the other by the time your done. Good luck.
