first undo all the nuts that hold the clutch housing, then remove it. next undo all the bolts holding the clutch in place, remove clutch and put new one in place, replace bolts & tighten them very tight. next screw on the clutch housing (the nuts don't need to be as tight). Easy really, piece of cake in fact
This has got to depend on where you live and the labour rates at your local vauxhall dealer.It can be cheaper to use a clutch specialist but parts quality can sometimes be suspect.A ballpark figure is
1. Buy a New clutch and pressure plate 2. Remove gearbox 3. remove old clutch and pressure plate 4. fit new clutch and pressure plate 5. fit gearbox 6. Drive
unscrew the old one and screw on the new one . . Easy!
This happened to me 2 months ago on my Astra. New clutch! Unfortuantely it means clutch plate is knackered. replace it whilat the car is still driveable or it'll go on you at the worst possible time!
If this is a corsa with the access panel on the bell housing,you do it without removing the gearbox.A Haynes manual shows the steps clearly. The g'box end plate is removed and the mainshaft is pulled back.(circlip and bolt to remove)The access panel is removed,the clutch depressed by an assistant and 3 clips are fitted to the cover to keep it compressed.Unbolt the cover and drop it out the hole,noting the notch in the outer dia lines up with a line on the flywheel.Replace release bearing through the hole.Reverse all this to fit new clutch. BAD NEWS If you have no access panel,I have not tackled one at home,but the vauxhall method involves removal of the anti-roll bar complete with lower suspension arms.Remove driveshafts,support the engine with a beam across the engine bay and remove the whole transmission assembly.Best achieved on a wheel free ramp. Progress?? Good luck.

Remove airbox, drive shafts, all connectors onto gearbox, gear selector rod, battery and battery tray, starter motor and then all bolts securing the gearbox. Remove gearbos, and then remove the bolts securing the clutch. Fit new clutch making sure you allign the clutch plate. Refit everything in reverse.
The 97 usually has a clutch cable that is self-adjusting. This cable usually gets replaced when a new clutch is installed, as it is difficult to un-adjust it once it adjusts for clutch wear. Some enthusiasts fit their car with the old-style manual adjusting clutch cable, in a belief that is helps clutch feel and prolongs clutch life. The clutch cable itself is between the motor and the battery, a big black thing that hooks into the transmission's front clutch release lever. IF you have a friend push the clutch in and out, you can easily see it operate if you're looking under the hood.
