Clutch Install
#61
This DIY was VERY helpful with my clutch job. My only suggestion would be to mention from what angle the pictures were taken!
That being said...I may have to pull the tranny once more. But this time I will do a video-documentation for more visual-oriented DIYers.

Removing the entire driveshaft instead of just letting it hang off the diff allows for much more room for you to lower the tranny and move things out of the way. I wouldn't dream of pulling the tranny without pulling the driveshaft completely out if you are not using a lift.
The first time i did my clutch i didn't remove the prop shaft.
BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE!!!
Removing it saved me easily an hour of "hassle" time

WOW! This looks like a major pain in the ass. Especially compared to my old 4g63 powered Talon. I will just pay a shop to change my clutch out when the time comes. But props to you guys!

Hey guys. I wanted to add something to this.
It's not 100% necessary but its a piece of insurance
When your removing the starter bolt, take out the knock sensor.
It's pointed into the side of the motor, 1 electrical connection then a 24mm socket gets it loose. I've seen 2 people break it now while trying to get to the started bolt and since its $100 to replace better safe than sorry.
Hope this helps all who are doing this them selves.
