When the engine is being replaced due to major overhaul, it is also important check the clutch for tear and replace any of the following as the cost of clutch parts are relatively cheaper than the time it would take to replace them especially when they are located in deep parts of the vehicle. When the engine is left in place it is necessary to pull the transaxle which in turn requires that the engine be properly supported either by jack or an engine lift or support frame. If using a jack place a piece of wood between the jack and oil pan since the pickup for the oil pump is almost near the bottom of the oil pan.

It is also recommended to inspect the fly wheel for crack and any signs of damages; in that case, it can be machined.

It is also recommended that the release bearing should be changed together with the clutch disc. With a probe, feel for any wear and tear of the pressure plate, if any, remove and replace it.
