This maintenance is recommended for experienced users. Otherwise, consult your trusted mechanic.

Since the clutch is connected to the gearbox, which is at the front of the car, first remove the front wheels, then the front shock absorbers. Now remove the starter motor, the positive cable connected to the battery, and perform the gearbox oil drain.

If you are unable to carry out any of these maintenance tasks but want to try, refer to other videos we have published. Once you have removed all these parts, you can now disconnect the gear lever and finally work on the clutch.
