pulled the trans today
I needed to replace the slave cylinder and I was putting it off for a few weeks, then I just said **** it ill try it.....it was definately not as hard as I thought, it was pretty easy , I actually thought it was easier to pull than the T-5 on my old cobra.......now I just wish I had the extra cash to throw a sweet clutch in it

yea, getting it back in is the hardest part, especially if it's on the ground. not to hijack the thread but does anybody have any ideas of how to torque the bolts on the very top inbetween the trans and the tunnel? i could barely fit a regular 3/8's ratchet and a swivel up there to tighten them down.

^^That procedure sounds like a monkey ****** a football there..
I bought mine from LPP..Tick Performance sells them too.
It's an extention off of the Slave where that Bleeder Screw goes..instead of having to mess with the Bleeder Screw and taking forever to bleed, you can get one of these Remote Bleeders and it takes about a minute to bleed the entire system.
This is what mine looks like..the big Cable lookin thing coming out of the side of where the Slave is..

Here is a list of some torque specs you may need. Just scroll down to the transmission section. They refer to the bell housing as the clutch housing.
As far as the guys putting the trans back in when the car is on the floor, its really not that hard. I learned this method from a fellow member. I did my clutch swap alone. The only help I had was to line up the new master cylinder and bleed the new hydraulic system.
Ok now if your reinstalling the trans with no help your going to want to lay on your back with the trans to your side. Make sure you have the trans bolts within arms reach and a socket and your jack stand. Then just pull the trans up on you so the input shaft is towards your knees. Now just lift the front with your knees and the tail shaft with your hands and arms. Then just watch the sides and wiggle the tail shaft until you see everything is tight. then insert a few bolts to hold the front and place the jack stand under the rear of the trans.
