For what it's worth, replacing the clutch is ~10 hour job for an experienced mechanic.I am going to upgrade my clutch soon, and was "considering" doing it myself :crazyeyes. Is there a thread on the steps of how to do it? Am I nuts for attempting this?
Thanks.

The only way to get clearance to pull the transaxle is to unbolt the engine and use a hoist to tilt the whole powertrain until it clears part of the rear subframe.Wow, that bad? Hmmm...
Nice, I'm looking forward to it! Too bad I only have 13K on my clock.The only way to get clearance to pull the transaxle is to unbolt the engine and use a hoist to tilt the whole powertrain until it clears part of the rear subframe.
:clap:I dit it.
With no mechanical experience other than bicycle...
I took a bunch of pictures and will eventually add them in a thread.

Yeah, but without unbolting, lifting and tilting the engine, there's not enough clearance to pull the transaxle off. No need to remove the clam. It's all in the service manual.Once you pull the rear clam and the underbody panels, you can pretty much access anything...

I'd like to know more about this if true.I thought someone mentioned a tech that allowed removal without pulling the engine.
My mechanic did it in 5.5. Without using the manual and without having done one before.the factory pays 5 hours. carl
