Clutch Replacement Step-by-step

In advance of replacing the clutch on my Gen 1 Mini Cooper S, I created a seven page long, step by step checklist. I'd be happy to welcome anyone who'd like to edit it. I created it in Google Docs. Hopefully, this link will provide only read-only access. If you'd like to edit, shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll give you access.

Only things I would add as options is :

-driveshaft seals in the gearbox
-powersteering pipe clips (swap to jubilee clips etc) while it's easy.
-possibly thermostat, again, easy to get too with gearbox is out on the R50.

Otherwise a wealth of info 👌 👍 😀

Could you get me any more details on those three items? I’d appreciate it very much.
