Been a bit since the last time I did a clutch IN a car. I seem to recall hearing of doing one w/out taking the trans out. I'd rather not have to do that, as removing the exhaust, turbo bits, and trans adds a lot more work. Ant thoughts or hints/tips? Its just me in the garage today, so hopefully I can get this done for the weekend.

I suppose if you have some training in magic it might be done.
The issue is behind the tranny...you will hit the underbody before you pull it back far enough to remove the input shaft from the pressure plate... If you have enough room behind it, you may be able to pull it all the way back, but you need to get that shaft all the way out of the pressure plate before you can remove the pressure plate.... So, while it might be done...with magic, it is faster to remove the tranny without magic and go from there. If you still have the underbody heat shield in place over the muffler, that is where you will hit. If that has been removed at some point, you might be able to do it. rich |
