If anyone has some insight, in the process of replacing my clutch and installing a VR6 clutch and G60 flywheel..... It took all I could do to maneuver the transmission out of the engine compartment. I have a tranny jack, but getting the sucker "pried" out was horrible! The Bentley manual was of little help, once I started having issues. I removed the driver's side axle and all the stuff, the Haynes/Benley manual stated, but I didn't remove any engine mounts or the sub frame. (I did, of course remove the rear transmission mount) Are these necessary to remove? This was an ulcer, compared to my old 81' Rabbit Diesel L or 79' Dasher Diesel. I'm hoping there is a trick or sequence of actions that can make reinstallation bearable..... (perhaps pics?) ;o)
I also didn't remove any peripheral components: i.e. Suspension, front end, etc.....
Any help/suggestions will be IMMENSELY appreciated!!!
P.S. I apologise, in advance if there is an "FYI or FAQ" on this. I searched for quite some time and found nothing, related.
