Part: Clutch

To replace the clutch on a Volkswagen Golf Mk4, lift the car to gain easier access to the components in the lower part of the engine bay.

You will also need to remove the driveshaft to make the clutch housing accessible: unscrew the bolts connecting it to the gearbox, and extract it from its housing to install a new one.
