G'day jonathan, I just Googled 'How do you replace a clutch plate' and got this http://goo.gl/EwTvGQ Stay safe Greg.

probably easiest if you get a workshop manual for your vehicle as will have step by step instructions

The oil in the box is thinning as the box gets warm, Check grade of oil in gearbox, change oil for a lighter viscosity. It's somewhere to start.

Sounds like the clutch if it is standard.

it is the throw out bearing and if you go through that,you may as well replace the clutch,which must be removed to replace the bearing anyway.the clutch comes with a new bearing.

you may have a clutch problem. If it doesnt slip, I would keep driving it. 33k is awfully young to need a clutch unless its been abused...... The engine does NOT have to come out, I dont know who told you that BS???? its no different than any other rwd car.

This is a Hydrolic System ,thus there is no Adjustment for what you discribe, You will need a New Clutch Assemble. I Recomend replacing ALL Clutch Parts while Trans is out. Uncluding All the Parts Listed Reliece Bearing, Clutch Disc, Pressure plate,And Renew Slave Cylinder FLUID.

A clutch is usually adjusted from underneath the car if it's a mechanical clutch.

Your comment that there is very little play at the top indicates an improperly adjusted clutch. You should have about 1/2 - 3/4 inch of play before feeling the clutch in the pedal.

this is either the clutch pressure plate or the transmission main shaft rattling due to worn bearings or the pilot bearing is worn out.
