.. you realise the clutch may be going on your car.

It's not a good one thats for sure.

Anyone know how much of a pain in the arse this is to replace and at roughly what cost it would be if I were to take it to a garage?

I'm no expert, but I presume you just undo the gearbox mount and drop the box.

yeah dealership prices, if i had access to a ramp i could have the job done in a couple of hours, on the floor it would take me an afternoon or so to do, if your car has the inspection plate on the gearbox it take about 30mins

Yer probably use to pull off at 4k rpm with clutch still ingaged slightly so still moved slowly just revvy (everywhere she went) - sat there in the traffic on the clutch etc
