Good remarks, people. I will search for a good kit. I ordered now Haynes. Let's see if I can understand the process , once it arrives. Isn't there somewhere some kind of real step by step guide, accompanied with clear photos, of how to do this clutch on 1.8 petrol?

What do you think about this kit: https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/clutch-kit-urb500060/ I am not talking about the seller - just the product. I saw a link to this kit in an old thread (the link did not exist anymore, but I reverse engineered to this kit) - several years old thread - with a good word...

OK, thanks for answering!

Everyone: what do you think: this part fits my model (Freelander 1.8 Petrol, 2001)? The model listed are only Diesel, but I thought the required part is the same...? Do you know this brand at all? Should I purchase it at all, or not...

Thanks a lot - will update. What do you think: this part fits my model (Freelander 1.8 Petrol, 2001)? The model listed are only Diesel, but I thought the required part is the same...? Do you know this brand at all? Should I purchase it at all, or not...

Anyone else? tips? instructions? advice? nice words for a good night sleep?

OK, thanks. Will start an adventure...

By the way, can I assume a damaged clutch only? i mean: no transmission damage? Second question: since I never tried it before, is there oil that I need to change here? If so, is it a special oil? THANX!

Ok, thanks. Could you lead me to a good tutorial/instruction? Something that I could follow in my "home garage"?

Hello all! Freelander petrol, 1.8, 2001, 181000 km. Bought this car a couple of weeks ago - do not know when clutch was changed, if at all. I have a strange situation: A couple of days ago I noticed that my clutch is slipping lightly. Yesterday it became worst, and now it revs up but no real...

All right, will do. Thanks again.

ok - now I understand. Thanks for the explanation. you spoke about noise from the prop shaft: what do you think can be the reason for that? what should I do to in order to check?
