not sure about lt1's, but it took me less than an hour to drop the rear/torque tube on a C6. I was amazed at how easy it was to replace the clutch.

im not sure how the c6 under carriage is but i imagine it is the same, and im willing to bet you did the clutch job on a lift, on the ground it would be much more difficult

I did a clutch on a 4.6 Mustang once... the starter bolts made me want to kill myself. I had 3 feet of extensions + 2 swivels plus another set of hands to unbolt that bitch. ---- transmissions.

I guess I did cheat. Still a pretty simple operation though.

Isn't it something like the torque tube bolts straight from the tranny to the rearend since it has independant suspension? I'm guessing you can't pull off the tranny or the driveshaft ect. without dropping the rearend.
