Hi all,
ive just bought myself a 1990 480 Turbo, which has quite a badly slipping clutch, eg each time it comes on boost the clutch slips and the revs go right up.
So ive set about getting the box out, but it seems to be a bit of a nightmare in comparrison to the clutch i changes on a 2.0 S40.
newbie with a slipping clutch

Take the engine out, it will be much easier, trust me.
If you really go for it:
Time to get engine out, 2 hours (done it a lot)
Time to whip of box and change clutch, 1 hr at most really, time to refit engine, allow 4 for arseing about.
Time to get box out with engine in car.....1 day
time to get box back in again. about the same.

You will need some method or supporting the engine with only one mount holding it.... from the point you are at now it sounds as thogh you could still whip it out if you hired a hoist. I would recommend it if you can
You would need to replace the exhaust gasket......
You do need to lower the subframe, a damn sight more than hanes says... right off the bolts on that side, and then its still tight.
