Default Is there a T5 write up???

I need to change my throwout bearing. Is there a write on this anywhere or can anyone tell me if I'll need any long extensions? I dont feel like taking it all apart to find out I cant reach one bolt.

I have pulled my tranny twice now, both times for throwout bearings. You dont need extensions but it makes things much easier to remove the bolts using a long extension with a swivel and a impact. Just use a ratchet on install though since its quite easy to strip out the aluminum threads. Also you dont need to remove the bellhousing if all you're replacing is the throwout bearing. Makes it much easier.
