Clutch Install Question
Do you have to remove the entire bellhousing to install a Twin Disk Clutch such as the Mcleod? All of the diy guides show the clutch being installed through the flywheel inspection cover. Is a twin disk to big to fit through the inspection hole? Removing the entire bellhousing looks like a major pita!

I don't think it's possible. You might be able to get away with leaving the bellhousing on but I think it's easier to just pull it. Clutch installs are a major PITA on vettes compared to the mustangs I've previously owned. Dope has a great clutch tutorial somewhere on the forum.

Most all the clutchs can be done with the bell housing in place. Only exception are the real thick duel disks where you might have to loosen the bell housing a little bit.

Here some pics of a Z06 clutch install we did on my buddy's '01 coupe. The pics show the clearance you have fairly well.
