I had everything replaced at the shop I work at, as you can see, and the tech took everything apart, he took the powersteering out and he also took the bolt off of the lower control arm which also gave him more room to get the axles out like you can see in the pics. Good thing he did all that extra work and only charged me 12 hrs labor luckily I get half off and only cost me $44/hr.
Also, I was going to ask you guys about the chatter I am getting from the spec, but ya'll answered that for me, looks like everybodies does it. But it only really does it when I take off in first with little gas and in reverse with little gas, and the 4-3 downshift. So this is normal? I am not really concerned cause I figured it just had to break in but if ya'll have the same thing, I won't worry at all.

.... A local trannie shop was only going to charge me $400 to install my new clutch, which included resurfacing the flywheel... This is a reputable shop too. hes done work for our family before and we have never had a problem with him.

That slight chatter is normal on break-in. But you'll want to avoid the downshifting until it's completely broken in. ~400-500 CITY miles.
