Clutch install sucks
Well the tear down was easy. Install, PITA so far.....I borrowed a trans jack, the jack has a V in it and others have used it successfully, so this is an operator error issue.
I found out that when I tried to move the trans to position it, it would slip in the V in the trans jack, ultimately flipping completely in its side. I rightsided it 2X before going out and buying a trans jack adapter, only issue was that to get it under it had to go in on its side(trans). So I ended up putting the trans on the floor, sliding it under the car on a board. putting the tail end of the trans on the trans jack, then lifting the front with one arm and sliding the jack with the trans adapter under the front with the other. The trans is now in postion....still need to stab the pilot bearing. PS: 16"s of clearance is definately not enough! Wife also is out hounding me also....when is this going to be done.
