[Healeys] Renewing the clutch

[llennep at verizon.net]

If you are going to resurface the fly why not lighten it at the same time?  Lightened fly on the BN7 (which now lives in southern France) and engine felt noticeably more peppy.  Quick raving and all that.  More responsive.KeithBJ8 only now

Hi Paul,Not really worth the bother ... once you have all that stuff disconnected.removed it really is little more work to lift the gearbox out entirely. 
A word of caution. 
After encountering clutch shudder more than once after installing a new clutch I would strongly recommend getting the flywheel resurfaced. It is an inexpensive job to have done at a competent auto machine shop and is a lot less work than pulling everything out again.

Hi chaps

The clutch on my 100/6 BN4 is starting to slip a bit. So, I am thinking of replacing it.

The question is ... is it possible/practical to change it in situ (without removing the gearbox and the engine from the car)?

ie: lift off transmission tunnel, undo and drop propshaft, disconnect gearbox from engine (no overdrive) and move it backwards on a jack, change clutch and put it all back together?

As always, any advice very gratefully received.

Many thanks
