clutch replacement
i Have a 2000 s2 and my clutch is grumbling on overrun, i am thinking of changing it myself, my question is what is the best way, gearbox out or engine out?

Yep,
Take off the prop. shaft undo the bolts on the housing the top ones are a bugger to get at! I had the use of a lift which makes life easier with the box on a support lift. I just moved the box straight back far enough to get to the clutch inside. Then with the clutch replaced slid the whole thing back together it went very smooth for me but I did have a buddy who is a mechanic watching over me.

so whats the best way then? spanner/ratchet, or a 24" extension with a ratchet /air gun on it?
i think i'll be doing mine when it burns out
mine also buzzes on overrun, but i'm living with it, because it's not worth

Oh and the drive shaft bolts are a bitch, they are mild steel torqued really tight so you will knurl if you are not careful. Heat, WD40, alan key with monkey grips are in the order plus someone to keep applying the handbrake to stop the shaft from turning.

Could be good for when I need to do mine, save removing the SC
