Yo people, my clutch finally died last tuesday and my new one arrived this morning (some stocky/heavy dutyish one i think) so all i need now is for somebody to put it in for me.... can anybody recommend anybody or know anybody who can put it in for me? (preferably affordably aswell =)

Thanks in advanced!

If you are near western Sydney, I can recommend Western Clutch Service at St. Mary's. Just had my clutch done there and have nothing but praise. The guy was the only one who actually referred to the various components of a clutch and knew what he was talking about.

Bah! Too far to drive!?!? I live about an hour away from the workshop. I went on a look around Penrith one day to all different workshops. Went to work and back about 5 times too. This was over a period of two weeks or so, and by the end I could free rev in gear. Driving was near impossible!
