clutch after it's install. I took the tranny for a rebuild today and I was told it should be back by friday for the weekend job. It was suggested I replace the gable plate but I think I'm going to leave it as it's not leaking and no one seems to be concerned about it in any of the posts I've read. I've got new slave cylinder, trans mount, cv boots,shift coupler. I'm hoping I'll have a tighter shifting car, I may do a short shifter later, but we'll see how it goes.
I supported the engine with a jack and block of wood, I lowered the tranny by hanging tie downs from the rafters. It was a one man job as others have mentioned.
I figured the money I saved in labor (approx $800)will pay for some other goodies, the SPEC clutch was about $200 more than a stock replacement, but with stg 3 I wasn't going to chance it not holding.
