Default Taking the tranny down...
Does anybody have any links to taking the tranny out and possibly taking the clutch out?
When I push the clucth in it does the opposite of what it is supposed to do. I think it might be the clutch release fork out of adjustment or not on the pivot ball. ( got that info from the LT1 manual) Any suggestions?

The clutch install document on www.installuniversity.com is pretty helpful in detailing the process.

I have had mine out several times now. A good set of swivel sockets, 13MM and 15MM in particular, are a must. Also a good set of wobble extensions are very helpful. I have never needed to pull the intake.
