To replace the clutch on a Volkswagen Golf, you need to remove the front left wheel by unscrewing its bolts. After that, loosen the screws securing the wheel arch liner to gain access to the gearbox.

The gearbox must be removed from its position by loosening the screws that hold it to the supports and then disconnecting the wheel arch liner. At this point, you can completely remove the gearbox, accessing the clutch located between it and the flywheel.

Once the old clutch is fully detached, you can install the new one along with all the components removed earlier.
