Changing a clutch on a volkswagen kombi?

i might try to change the clutch on my volkswagen kombi van 1994. any good suggestions?|||It is best to have 2 jacks, one to support the engine, and one for the transaxle.


They sell a cheap scissors tranny jack at Harbor Freight for under $50.


Change the throwout bearing as well, and grease the rod it so it does not bind.


Sort of a common problem.


Buy one of those plastic clutch position jigs as well. Very handy, and saves a lot of time when you are trying to put it bad together and it does not line up. The jig helps put the friction disk in the right alignment as the pressure plate is bolted down.


Put plastic bags over the CV joints when they are unbolted, to keep dir out.
