Default clucth install

I started my clucth install today. After 3 hours me and a friend had the car apart. It wasn't as bad as I figured it would be. It seemed like it took longer to take my lg headers and exhaust back out than it took to take the rear and tranny out.

Did you have to take the headers off? Which clutch did you go with?

Dude, the garage is a mess

Good work though, I plan on doing this myself soon as well. How high did you get the car off the ground on those jackstands?

Its high enough to sit under it pretty much. They are 6 or 8 ton jack stands.

Everytime I clean the garage some comes up. That mess is 3 differnt car projects going on at once in a 2 car garage.
