T-56 clutch install with longtubes

[03TermiCobra]

Just wondering if it's possible to work around bbk longtubes to get the tranny out or what I need to do.

You will not have any issues just a little tighter than usual. Use a trans jack if you have one or can get one.

these are Kooks... but same idea.

FYI the clearance of the trans between Kooks and BBK are not the same.

I have bbk headers, and the tranny comes rt out, no issues. ive had mine in and out a lot.

I had BBK and it was no issue getting trans in and out. to do a clutch though, will be tough but far from impossible... the bell housing wouldnt come out between the tubes but there was enough room to get the pressure plate, clutch, etc in and out... not the easiest but doable.

now i have kooks LT and my throw out bearing is squealing... these tubes are a LOT bigger, i hope its as easy to get the trans out. i want to do a clutch while its all pulled apart too but i really dont think there will be enough room between the tubes...

the bell will come all the way out but you have to spin it around to find the sweet spot but it will come out.

I put a T-56 in my 99 cobra and I have long tubes. I pull my transmission out first, then I have to slightly spread my long tubes apart to get the bellhousing out. GL

Recently did a clutch on my 03...twice lol. I have Kooks 1-3/4" longtubes and I had zero clearance problems. Dropped tranny first and then housing. Biggest issue is getting to the starter bolts.
