If you are mechanically skilled then changing the clutch is quite easy on a C900 but DO NOT pull the power unit. Here's the deal. Take the hood off (makes this job much easier). Strip off the stuff concealing the black plastic clutch shield and remove the shield. Next depress the clutch and lock it with a "ring", then unbolt the clutch cover and slave cylinder and swing the entire assembly, including slave, out. That is a VERY condensed description but gives the general idea. Get your flywheel surfaced and replace the pilot bearing and maybe the rear main seal too. Be careful with the clutch hydraulic hose or replace if it looks bad. The aftermarket hoses seem to be OK. You can make the "ring" from all kinds of stuff, eg. #8 bare copper wire (my favorite), 7mm spark plug wire or a lawnmower throttle cable housing. If your slave is shot then there are several alternative ways to depress the clutch but be aware that fully depressing the clutch and keeping it that way (with the "ring") are critical to success. Good luck.
