[QUOTE="SCGallo2, post: 16683670, member: 160791"] You have to rotate the trans for the bellhousing to clear the firewall. IIRC, there is a dowel on each side, so you have to slide the trans back about a 1/2" then rotate it 45 degrees. The input shaft will still be inside the pilot bearing supporting a lot of weight so it isn't that difficult. The pain is continuing to slide the trans back without the input shaft hanging up on the pressure plate diaphragm spring, while making sure the bellhousing clears the firewall. It is a very tight area. The jack has manually adjustable tilt forward, aft, left, and right and 360 degree swivel casters, so I had no issue rotating the trans with it secured to the jack. Also, I felt like I had to completely remove my MGW G2 shifter assembly to avoid damaging it during removal. I went the route I did because I knew that the clutch shipment and rebuild process would take a while (ended up being 1 month), and I rather have my car sitting in my garage on blocks than have it sitting in someone's shop collecting dust while waiting for parts. I also like to minimize the work performed on my car by others. While I was waiting, I also installed a new clutch master cylinder since the clutch fluid was purged; I already had a stainless clutch line installed. If you can procure all of the parts and pay a trusted mechanic a $600 flat rate and get your car back the same day... pay the money and have someone else do it.
