Clutch install before LT's FTW.

*Edit - While you're there make sure you replace the throwout bearing, rear main seal, and the pilot bearing. Do it all at once and save you a headache down the road.

Haha, +1!! I think you only have to take off the passenger side header. Good luck...

MAC is the only longtubes I can think of that allows you to drop the tranny with the headers still on.
Be prepared to do a lot of muscling the trans around to squeeze it between them. Deffinatly helps if there are two or three people around.

YOu'll have to drop the K member...
You can get the transmission out.. but you'll never get the clutch and transmission back in..
Just drop the K member from the start, it will save you alot of time

I never did see what the big problem is with this top starter bolt. I can drop the starter in under 5 min and I always put the top bolt back in. Its not like its that damn power steering bolt.
I dropped my tranny a few months back with a buddy to help. It wasn't that hard to get out with just 2 people getting it back in was a bit harder. But it can be done in a few hours.

+1! I don't know what everyone's problem with the top bolt is. I keep telling people to get a long extension and go through the front. I don't know why no one listens...

It's not hard to do as long as you have the right tools. I can get the pump off and back on in 10 minutes.
