hi everybody!
a good mate of mine is having problems getting his xsara picasso back together after changing clutch! seems to be having trouble getting speedo drive engaged when mating gearbox/diff to engine. Is there a sticky or anything on forum telling how to do it, and do you have to have both drive shafts off the vehicle? offside one is still in vehicle and from what i can make from the rather stressed phone call i had this evening it might be getting in the way a bit!
I,m going to have a look at it with him tomorrow so any advice asap would be much appreciated!!! (it,s a 02 plate 1.6 petrol by the way)
Regards Steve (aka carpysmith)

You'd have to be some gorilla to bend a driveshaft Richard
Grom personal experience, although you can pull the 'box off with the driveshaft in place, it seriously gets in the way when replacing the 'box.
Remove it, or at least pull it far enough away so it is out of harm's way and all will be good.
Some try this shortcut to avoid driving the centre driveshaft bearing out of its housing. They can be a challenge sometimes but a long cold chisel and a big hammer never fails to bring satisfaction...
Although Xantia-centric, this thread is a fair clutch replacement guide and will be more or less relevant to the Picasso...
