I finally started working on my clutch and wanted to ask something..
I've already got the front axles disconected from the tranny and rear driveshaft.
Now I can't make my mind if I just should pull the tranny by it self or remove the whole engine with the tranny.
How many of you have pulled the whole engine&tranny just to replace the clutch/flywheel?
Thanks

If you are working on jackstands, it's easier just to pull the engine/tranny in one piece
If there is a lift, then drop the transmission. But doing a DIY on jackstands, I would pull the whole assembly every time.

Pull the motor and transmission out the front.
Soooo much easier. Feel free to email me if you get stuck or need help, I can do that in < 4 hours alone on jackstands nowadays.

Hmm, I've done both on jackstands and would still prefer to drop just the tranny for a clutch job...
I agree that it's more of a pain b/c you're doing everything on your back, but pulling just the tranny is much less time consuming IMHO.
Not disagreeing w/ you, we just seem to have different opinions. Of course, if he has a pair of K04s sitting around, the motor pull is a no-brainer

I was in the same situation last weekend. I'm having a shop do it on tuesday
My arms and neck were so tired after two day on my back. I was also working by myself, so if you got a helper you should get it done.
