Default Just got my parts in

Well i just got a few things from Summit. One of which is my replacement clutch slave cylinder that i have to change out. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to change this the easyiest way. I read the write up on chaging clutches and i got a general idea of how the tranny comes out. But i still need a little help with the specifics. So could you shed some light on this or?

It's really not that complicated of a task. If you follow a good writeup, it should be simple. On that note, if you have a writeup on hand, what specifics do you need?

Well the write up is the one in the manual transmission section and all i can do its read it an imagine it. Ive been under my car and see all of the tranny. Ive just never actually pulled it. Plus there isnt picktures in the write up. IDK, im just nervous about it. But from what it sounds like, it isnt something that is too crazy. I should be able to handle it.

your overthinkin it dude...once you start workin its a breeze...just be observant and pay attention to details and youll be fine....the most important thing is aligning the clutch disc right...or else your going to have a hell of a time trying to get the trans back in...
also before starting make sure the car is at a level position thats easy to work on....sucks working on your back and not having enough room...
also i like to unbolt the transmission case from the bellhousing first...seems to make it easier coming out...

i hope your gonna change the clutch while your in there, another tip is to remove the tranny mount and let the tranny hang down a little low to access the top bolts and on reassembly i think you apply silicone to the bellhousing to tranny part

Its not bad at all, it helps to have the $40 tranny jack from Harbor freight but its not a must. Just need alot of extensions to get the top bolts of the tranny.

Oh and do yourself a favor if you dont have one already and buy a mighty-vac.
