You can replace the clutch actuator in the Smart after locating it: it is positioned at the bottom of the engine bay, which is at the rear in this car. To remove it, disconnect the connector and then unscrew the nuts that secure it to the vehicle's body. Once the nuts are loosened, you can take out the actuator and replace it with a new spare part.
