My clutch is starting to slip pretty bad at full throttle so I think I'm gunna need to get a new clutch in the near future. I could most likely do the job myself, but when I did it before on my 180sx it took me about 12 hours with help from a friend. I would really rather not do that again, but at the same time i'm kinda scared to take it to a shop here in Germany to have them do the clutch job since the car is pretty rare over here. So my question is, does anyone know of a shop or dealer that would be able to do the clutch job reliably if I gave them the parts? Or is the clutch job very similar to any car, so it wouldnt really matter what shop I took it too? Thanks for any input

any normal shop/garage can do the clutch.
like with any other rwd car, remove driveshaft and gearbox, then swap the clutch

Just do it yourself, it takes a while without a tranny jack, but it's always good to get to know your car :-)

I had the local mazda dealer do mine when I was stationed in Giessen. Had the parts shipped from the states. The dealer would only install geninue Mazda parts, they really looked over the parts really good.

Aight cool, thanks for the info guys. Yea I have done a clutch job before on my 180sx in Japan and it was a B***H! But, I might end up doing it myself on the FD too since it seems like it's going to be pretty much the same job. Again, thanks guys.

Lol, sure man. I'll take all the help I can get. I put the clutch job on the back burner for now. I'm about to replace my fuel injectors (cleaned and balanced), fuel filter, and fuel pump (supra pump) pretty soon here. Just waiting for some more parts to come in. I'll let you know when I'm gunna go (probably Vogelweh), so if you're free and bored that day you can stop by
