I don't know if Dope ever got his clutch tutorial uploaded but I still have it in WORD doc format if you email me at edbon@adelphia.net

Also, check out my drivetrain removal pave I have of a buddy's C5 we did. No text yet but the pics will help. There are 6 pages of pics.

It's a lot easier than it looks. This car has amazing engineering. We couldn't believe how modular it was, just pulling one section out after another. Of course, the lift helps but it can be done on jackstands without much more effort.

Its not that bad, my dad and I did it very relaxed (read: not very rushed or fast) and it took a whole Saturday. We probably could have done it in half the time, but we werent in a rush.
