I think its time to change the clutch and had some questions.

1 - Do you have to drop the entire Engine to do the change?

2 - Whats the quickest cheapest way to get it done?

3 - Should I drain the tranny oil or just drop, change and replace?

I realize that there are a lot of things that -should- be done, but I am one of the folks that has lost my job. I need to get the car back up and running for as little as possible. So changing syncros would be great, I might not have the funds to buy 1st and 2nd ($80 each?), but might not be possible. I love hearing the suggestions but the budget has to come first.

Thanks gang.
