lol you are killing me here lol. But if you are not kidding then yes you have to pull the drive shaft,unhook the shifter and pull the trans,Then you would have to pull the bellhousing and then the pressure plate and clutch. Then you would be looking at the flywheel. You would remove the flywheel bolts and when you do replace the flywheel I would sugest that you purchase new flywheel bolts.

When you go as far as heaving the box out, you might want to replace the the clutch & pressure plate as well.

you may also want to replace the little brass bushing, located in the center of the flywheel.

Can you pull the tranny with a fixed crossmember? If you can not now would be a good time to make that crossmember removable. Cut it if necessary and make life easier now and in the future.
