In the midst of chaos, there is joy!

It is a one man job. All you need is an extra jack to support the tranny a bit.

 

[FORMONTOYA]

Heh... Taking the tranny off is easy as hell, putting it back on is the real pain in the ass...

And if you're doing it in the garage on jack stands and only weigh 140 LBS soaking wet.............damn near impossible by yourself, even with a jack and tranny plate.

Makes me miss the old Chevy RWD clutch job. Hell, I'd rather do an auto RWD swap than a clutch job on a transverse mounted engine.

what i found out to make the job go 10x faster is if you put a scissor jack behind the engine, and push it toward the front of the car the tranny goes on easier and clears everything.

Yeah, for me, I'm lucky I have Tj, fwdturbobov1996. Haha, hopefully I won't need him to catch it when the tranny falls. Hah. Oh, you like the pic? I thought it'd be good to show the MASSIVE size of the rotor. It's beautiful...

 

[95RedRS]

Yeah but all that rotor is overkill...You cant go that fast

 

[RedRain]

Its a one man job taking it out, but putting it back together takes two or a jack. I made mine land on my old rainbow rear seats .

 

[kronus]

Psh, nothing is overkill for the crappiness of my stock braking system. Couldn't lock 'em unless it was wet outside .

Oh, and you're right, I can't go that fast... yet

 

[FORMONTOYA]

But one day you might NEED to stop that fast.

Same way it came out. Takes me 10 seconds from ground to block all by myself

+1. Man, I wish I could put it back in by myself... But I'm kinda scrawny...

3 times in 1 summer. Its very simple if you get a routine.

I did mine with the engine outside the car (which should be easier) But I could not for the f-ing life of me get the damn input shaft splines to line up with the clutch disk. Out of sheer dumb luck the tranny slipped off the jack I was using and it popped right into place.... It took me a couple of hours to finally get the shit to line up... not to mention dropping the tanny on my pinky finger (which is still black and blue from about 6 months ago).

Sounds like hell.
