yep done 2 now. hang it on the engine crane engine mounts off push engine over seperate gb but leave it in the bay replace clutch put back together. first one i did took about 3hours the second one i did in about 2 hours.

i never understand why people insist on removing the whole gb out of the bay just to change a clutch when in reality you only need to split it just enough to get your hands in.

you might get away with it but it will be tight if you remove the drive shafts you might be able to tip it upwards to get at it.
