this is what was easiest for me. sorry it was a pain for the rest of you to look at it. time on my hands, after i would have done everything else, been pissed off, i think it was just as good.

I agree with everyone else about just dropping the trans, but if everything is back in and running who cares. Its your time and energy, not theirs

I agree it's his time being wasted. I or anyone didn't say it wouldn't work, but the method he chose to take. I just don't see the logic in take a motor out to change a clutch, but that's me. I changed my tranny this past summer and didn't have a creeper. I spred a mat on the floor and got under the car and got to work. The hardest part for me was lining up the tranny to the motor. And i was by myself and didn't get any help.
These r our opinions on his method and he shouldn't be so defensive about it. Like i posted b4 he got the job done and that's what's important.

OMG. This is the funniest thread ever. 
Pulling the engine would be a good experience if anything. My front end got banged up in an accident and it actually hard to tip the engine down because the alternator ends up hitting the frame. You gotta be slow, careful and precise so nothing gets squashed.
By the way, what is up with the wastegate?

and kevin, i think we just do ---- a little *** backwords over here. we arent as advanced as the west coast guys, or the ------ caniuks. :P

I don't care who in Japan does their clutch job's like that. I'm not wasting my time to do it like that. There's one thing in life u can't replace and that's time. Have fun in Japan tho, make sure u learn the language that's very important.
