2011 Clio Clutch Change

[JKeillor94]

As per the title, ive got a 2011 Clio and im needing a new clutch, this one has started to slip after 70k miles!
Wondering whats involved, subframe drop? Full removal for the gearbox? Best oils to use?
Any tips are appreciated

What engine?

Its a 1.2 non turbo

Ive been quoted 950+ from renault themselves they can shove that price where the sun dont shine obviously!
I was expecting somewhere between 450-550 tbh

Yeah D4FT clutch is pretty simple mate. On the MK3 it's best to drop the subframe and drop the box out of the way under the chassis leg. Only issue is it's a JR5 box and the bellhousing is massive on them and for some reason theres less space in the engine bay on a 1.2 tCe than on a 1.6 GT I think Renault just wanted to throw as much stuff in the bay as possible to make s**t awkward

Even easier then mate, you wont have all the boost pipes etc in the way
