Default Clutch change on Sapphire Cosworth 4x4?

Hi

What's the easiest way to change the clutch on a Sapphire Cosworth 4x4?
To take the engine out or to remove the gearbox, to get access to the clutch?
I have a garage where I can change the clutch so I have all tools necessary (2 different kinds of lifts etc.).

Let me know if you have tried this and how you did it.
Thanks in advance.

Cheers

no no no, easiest way, take your car to a garage, come back a couple of hours later, hand them some money and say, thank you very much.

Job done, couldn't be much easier

Yeh plus if its not right you can go back and chew there ear off. It will take a few hours to get the box out i would of thought.

A well known tuner nationally and off here changed a gearbox for me once, got the old one out, new one in and then went to fit the clutch cable


















only to find the lug on the side of the bell housing which holds the cable in place was not there, it had busted off and was not noticed because box was blingy clean

suffice to say he won't make that mistake again cheers though mate, he done the swap again and only charged me a nifty (technically it wasn't his fault) what a guy
