Clutch Replacement

[Rick]

Having purchased the parts, I am involved in looking for a good local shop to R&R the clutch, T/O bearing and related misc pieces. What amount of time is involed to actually do the change out? Does the subframe have to be dropped? What else?????

Thanks

Well either you have to drop the subframe or pull the whole engine/trans assembly through the top. IIRC it is about a 14 hour job shop time. :shrug:
Alot of other things have to be taken off as well. Half shafts, roll resistors, trans mount, drain trans fluid, intake pipe, starter has to be unbolted, tie rod ends, brakes,rotors,calipers, lower control arms has to be disconnected, some people drop the Y pipe....I do not. There is more but my brain is not yet awake.

Get to it. I removed the UIM/LIM for cleaning on this particular job. Does not need to come off.
