Thanks for the replies. I hate to sound so stupid. I don't even know what IIRC is. The book I have says you can change the clutch by pulling the engine if you suport the tranny. Thought I would try it as a learning experience. I will be doing this without help. The posts I have read look like lots of guys are getting some serious learning by taking out the tranny. I realize it will take more time but its easy time compared to dealing with that tranny on my back alone. Any more suggestions folks might have would be appriecated. I will drop a post to let you know how it works out. Thanks
