So I recently started an apprenticeship and one of the first jobs other than a few services where it will be my name on the job card is a clutch and a full exhaust on a proton savvy that my boss has just bought as a courtesy car (god knows why).
I can get help from any of the other lads but I was wondering if any of you guys had any advice or tips on working on a proton.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

With respect a clutch job is going to be a tad too much for you to do this early on in your new career...Isn't it?  |

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tell your Boss he wants his head testing.  On second thoughts best keep stum.  |

I concede it may be a bit ambitious....I remember one the first jobs I was asked to do was sweep the workshop floor....imagine my reaction?  I'm not a trained mechanic/technician but have changed many a clutch in my time.... Surely its all part of the learning curve? if he needs advice wont his boss help? Anyhow, if Mr.Hill proceeds with this excercise best of luck  |

It isn't my first job but it'll be the first where it is my name on the job card and I'm not asking what to do for every step.
