Absolutely DIY-able. Just replaced a clutch on my V50 on my own. Thrust bearing/slave is around 75 quid. Two of you can easily do the job in a day. You might as well do the clutch if your car is high milage.

Don't be too quick to thank me. I hope that this is the problem and nothing more. Siamblue was very kind to come over mine a few weeks ago and we took out the gearbox. We had no special equipment/hoist etc, but we still managed to removed it in the end. But if I was to do it on my own, I wouldn't have the balls to do it. However I am sure that it is easier to remove than put it back together


By the way, don't you have VADIS? It is very very helpful.

hi gatos,i downloaded vadis from (pb) but cannot get it to do anything so i gave up....i knew you had something, from a problem i had weeks ago....i have never attempted a gearbox,so if it comes to it i am hoping my brother who is coming tomorrow will help..but if its going to take a day,plus cash,it could be a few days before we can attempt it....there is one thing,will there be enough room in the engine bay to get the gearbox out once i remove the battery etc etc

You will have to raise the car, remove the wheel, remove the support member, remove the driveshaft...... See attached vadis info

Check out this guide for VADIS istallation too. It might help

i use win7 home premium 64-bit, go to troubleshoot and tick the program that doesn`t run and it will ask what OS ran it ok before, so put XP and it will open and run in that mode
it will not run fully or at all with IE9, use IE8 or Firefox latest as i do

i used to run Vadis on WinXP SP3 32-bit with no problems at all
Now i run it on Win7 64-bit IE8 or earlier
Vadis is will not run properly on IE9 but it is not Vadis being fussy it is the latest IE what is at fault because i used the 9 for a few hours and some other of my programs would not work to there full capacity either it is IE9 which is crap, Vadis will load and work ok until you need an answer to a problem then it won`t open it, with IE8 no problem
In my limited experience with IT Win7 64-bit is great for me although PC world says you need all later programs for them to run but i only bought Office2010 you will find on Win7 that a menu opens if an old program will not run and you can put it in XP mode for it to work and that is not on PRO or Ultimate just the Home Premium SP1 Win7

lol. Trust me, I am a Neanderthal too when it comes to cars. If it wasn't for Siamblue, I would not have been able to do it. If you take your time it can be done, but it is not the easiest of jobs to do, nor the hardest. Now, I have done it, I would be able to repeat this feat again.... It was lots of fun for sure.

Anyway, you don't have to remove the gearbox to change the plastic part I have mentioned above. You can change it with the gearbox still on. You will only have to remove the whole gearbox if the problem is not that small plastic bit

i have read all this thread with interest and although i am too late to help but just had a thought looking on
that plastic piece removed by taking out the securing clip one has to hope that the "O" ring might have failed which is inside where it goes onto the slave cylinder
it would be a dream come true if it has and perhaps try a new one or even the whole plastic piece you removed from your own box gatos before neanderthal ripping out his gearbox!!

That is why I am a Neanderthal too.....lol. I called that o-ring a seal. Thanks for pointing that out 960kg. The o-ring is very small and is where the yellow arrow points. I wish too that it either the o-ring or the black plastic joint. Gearbox removal should only be required if there is no fault there
