Never worked on a GT4 have you? :-) Its possible to do a clutch with
the engine in the car, but to give you an idea of how hard it is - its
widely recommended that its faster to completely disconnect the wiring
harness, coolant, air con and completely remove the engine and box to
do it instead of doing it in situ lol. Fitting a transverse engine and
a 4wd transmission setup into the front end of a celica was a miracle
of design lol.

Aye, checked that and bled it just in case. Fairly sure its either the
friction material falling apart (would explain it clunking and lurching
then getting better) or its someting more sinister. Either way i have
the spare gearbox and for now the car is drivable again so i can work
on borrowed time!
