89 5.0 Mustang

i have a 95 cobra with the t5.

I have to replace the throw out bearing
is there any wierd things i need to look out for or be cautious about?
basically i have to drop the exaust, driveshaft then the tranny and the throw out bearing slides right off? Right.
Should the tranny be in gear or does that even matter?

Any Tips are greatly welcomed

thanks

if your good you can just slide the tranny out and just do a quick switcharoo, the tranny doesnt need to be in gear.. and get a genuine FORD tob!

Are you putting in/checking the clutch while you have it out?

Steal bearing retainer is a must

my clutch was replaced a year ago when i bought the car so money is tight right now so its stayin in haha.

and i do believe the McLeod has a steel retainer.
