Do you have to crawl through the ski bag to get out after you drive in there?

There were a couple hang-ups that took a long time. First of all, the shifter linkage removal, installation, and adjustment is a colossal bitch. The transmission doesn't have enough movement to allow you to totally remove the linkage before you drop the trans, so you have to drop it halfway, tweak the hell out of it, and then remove it. Other than that, I thought the general process of getting to the bolts, driveshafts, etc, was one of the easiest, most straitforward transmissions I've done, it's just because there's so much to do, it's time consuming. I did mine on the ground too, if it makes a difference. With taking my time and doing suspension work (took the struts out, powdercoated the assemblies and changed springs) and some other fun things, it took about 14-16 hours.

It's just barely wide enough to change tires on both sides of the car, <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/169640.phtml">but it's a bit tight</a>.

But hey, it beats working outside.

With the passage of time the clutch job doesn't seem like it was that bad anymore. Funny how that works...
