Well, actually, working off jack stands, and ONLY working on the clutch, the ZF doesn't have to come out from under the car. I balance it on the cup of my plain ol floor jack, pull it out of the clutch, lower it, then let it down and roll it back and park it back out of the way in the tunnel area. Ya don't have to jack the car up quite so high, unless you just want to.

Good point about the Castrol TWS 10W-60 (synthetic that you get from the BMW dealer) and change the trans fluid too, while yer there. (Already mentioned changing the clutch fluid - easy when the slave is outta there too!)
