Hi Keith.
Replacing the clutch is a job I have yet to experience so I can't offer any tips. Like most jobs on the Jimny I doubt it will be difficult other than the discomfort of working under the vehicle, rather than the luxury of standing when working on a raised platform.
I am sure others have experience of doing this job so will be interested in the replies also. Alternatively it's not too expensive to get a local clutch specialist to replace it, I believe Max headroom got his replaced this way (or have I imagined this?) so may have an idea of cost.
Anyhow still check the cable adjustment first (it's free).
Here is a picture of the cable adjustment Nut (black bit) on the gearbox.

Yep it was me ;)

My neighbour also got her Jimny clutch replaced by the same firm Mr Clutch in Swindon but there may be one near you
Furthermore two SAAB owners I know and a colleague with Landrover Freelander are all happy customers.

Ok did not dream it. I have used a local Mr Clutch to do our Nissan, also happy with the work and very quick.

Welcome along!

A new cable is cheap enough and easy to fit, especially if a new clutch is going in for it to be disconnected anyway. So have a new one fitted with the clutch to be sure everything is like new and trouble free.
