I suppose it depends on the brand/setup of LT's, but they run too narrow together generally to get the tranny out without removing them.

another thing is are you working with the stock k member? taking the passenger side header off then back on my car with my tubular k member only took about 20minutes.

like said above, its not that hard just time consuming.

Just because your clutch catches really high doesn't mean that it's busted.... Mine is basically brand new and catches with like a 1/2" to the top.

maybe u should try and get an clutch cable firewall adjuster first before u go thru the trouble of doin a clutch. And if I were u bro I wud NOT get a spec stg 2 clutch. the best clutch ive ever ran or felt in a Forced Induction mod mustang is the CenterForce Dual Friction clutch. and id get a billit steel centerforce flywheel to match. or have yur stock flywheel machined. u MUST have it machined though if u do not buy a flywheel. But the centerforce dual friction is BADASS!!!! best clutch around for sure. a spec stg2 grabs real hard. too hard. its either engadged ir not. its a puck style instead of full disc.what i did on my buddys stang was take the long tubes loose so they cud move out about an inch ot 2 and then drop the trans. good luck man.
i have a spec stg1 and so does a friend of mine and he is runnin 700 rwhp and goes to the strip all the time and it still holds perfect.

The piece that sticks out on the bellhouseing hits on the headers when you try to pulling out that was my only problem. It really wasnt that hard though. I didnt loosen my headers and ive done 2 clutches and a trans. It might be cause i have macs though...

You should be able to just loose the trans up and turn it a little sideways...Just depends how your headers are.
