[QUOTE="3B99SVT, post: 11606573, member: 35689"] I wish I would have taken pictures. I changed my clutch on 4 jack stands. First of all, the top two bellhousing bolts are a pain. I recommend removing the tranny mount and using a jack to lift the front of the engine a little. A block of wood carefully placed will reach the engine block. Then use good extensions -- not the thin ones that twist up. And the tool that made it all possible was an impact swivel that is like a CV joint. I tried a wobble and it broke. I broke a traditional u-joint too. And get a BABB (big ass breaker bar). Those bolts didn't budge w/my impact although it was the cheap impact that came w/the compressor. Those top two bolts were the worst part. Getting to the top bolt to the starter motor was cake compared to the top two bellhousing bolts. Oh, as far as getting the tranny out after the bolts are off: I made a wood holder for the tranny out of a piece of 3/4" plywood (base) and four short pieces of 2x4 that reached up to the assembly "tabs". Then I made a short platform on casters. I got a bunch of pieces of 3/8" wood and stacked them between the tranny holder and platform. Then I "played Jenga" w/the tranny -- removing a piece from the front and then the back then the front then the back... until the tranny holder was on the wheeled platform. Then I just pulled it out from under the car. Installation was just opposite. Of course, a tranny jack would be easier if you have access to one. If this doesn't make sense, PM me your number and we can talk. [/QUOTE]
