New clutch for a 2l air cooled

[samk]

Hi all. When the van was in for it's MOT the mechanic told me the Clutch was on it's last legs. I think he's trust worthy but is there a fairly simple way to verify this?

Also, any recommendations on a good replacement would be good. I want to get it sorted before Brighton breeze. I haven't has time for many shows so I don't want it to be ruined by an embarrassing break down in front of hundreds of vans!

Thanks for the advice. Thought I was beginning to get to know the van but the clutch and all other things involved is deffo a mystery to me!

when its out check the flywheel has not cracked between the mounting bolts as these engines are prone to it , fitting is easy even a novice should be able to change clutch in around 2 hours
