Right steps, but easier said than done. I had FastAddiction swap my clutch, becaue it was my daily driver… and I would rather spend 500$ then all day, wrestling out a tranny. It took the guy at FA and my self helping, 5 hours to do. If I do remember, you need an inverse torx or some odd sized socket to take the axle bolts out, so be prepaired. I cant remeber though. It really wasnt that bad at all. I would give you a hand but I am building a house… and have no time to even think about anything else right now.
