Been done to death but curious to know how long every one else takes changing a clutch in a D1? And which way is better to go about it, engine forward or gear boxes backwards?

I didn't have a clue when doing mine but I took engine out, took a good 3 solid days, for me, but to do it again I could probs do it in about 1 1/2 - 2 days.

Done them on my own ,5 -6 hours ish ,depends on any rusted/damaged in bolts ( crossmember ,propshafts,etc)
a little tip ,after you drill out the rivets around the gear stick gaiter and you can blindly access the top bell housing bolts with long extensions , if on own use a propper gearbox jack !

fit a heavy duty clutch fork whist your at it , if it hasnt failed yet ,it WILL

Too right! I had to drill out the top of the gear stick gators, a good 2 foot extension bar is needed, also had a length of wire tied to the end to manoeuvre it about a bit
