Removal & Installation: Notes

Disconnect battery ground cable. Remove exhaust cross over pipe, and remove rear exhaust section with front and main muffler. Disconnect slave cylinder hydraulic flex line at metal pipe on floor pan, and cap openings to prevent loss of fluid.
Remove bolts securing transmission mount to crossmember, raise transmission slightly, and remove crossmember. Disconnect speedometer cable from rear transmission cover, and shifting rods from shifting levers.
Loosen, do not remove, bolts attaching drive shaft center support to body. Loosen drive shaft clamping nut, and disconnect drive shaft from transmission flange in such a way as to leave flange attached to transmission.
Slide drive shaft to rear as far as center bearing and clamping piece will permit, then place a block of wood under drive shaft in front of tunnel so that drive shaft is pushed completely upward.
Remove bolts attaching starter to clutch housing, and place starter out of way. Remove bolts attaching transmission to intermediate flange, removing upper two bolts last.
NOTE: Due to heavy ribbing of clutch housing, most bolts are accessible only by using a 17 mm or 19 mm socket and extension.
Prior to removing, rotate transmission at least 45° to the left so that starter domes on case will clear tunnel. Pull transmission to rear until clear of clutch splines, then lower to remove. Loosen clutch attaching bolts 1 to 1 1/2 turns at a time until spring tension is released, then remove bolts and clutch assembly.
To install, center clutch disc on flywheel using a suitable aligning tool, and install pressure plate. Tighten attaching bolts 1 to 1 1/2 turns at a time until tight.
CAUTION: During assembly, make sure that clutch is fully pulled into recess in flywheel.

To complete installation, reverse removal procedure and bleed hydraulic system.
