   My clutch is starting to slip really bad so i think its time for a change lol. Anyone got any rough ideas on what sort of time it should take? I havent done one since i left college like 3 years ago lol. Going to be a bit rusty! lol and thats me not the car lol

   it all depends on whos fitting m8 like you said you havent done it in a while but i'd say that even an inexperience person whos never done 1 before could do it in 6 hours with a haynes but then? it all depends how well you can do such things and if you encounter any problems

   if your not sure id start it sat tbh m8, then if your over run or are stuck or end up needing a new part for sum reason eg bolts or wotever you still have a slight chance to sort out the prob without running around like a headless chicken on a sunda thinkin im fucked then needin the car on munda for work lol, always best to plan ahead leavin yourself plenty room for error

   me and my mate can do a box change in hour and half so involving the clutch maybe another 10-15mins to the time but set yourself all day first light till last light. dont stop for fags, food or tea then the motivation to get it done fast and efficiently will be even greater
