The other day I was driving around and I noticed that my clutch had been slipping like crazy. So I made a uie and headed home on the way back just 2 miles away it gave out on me like ded potato. now I have the car in the gurage and I was going to lower the rear engine mount and take the trany out that way (I was told that would be the best thing to do) the only thing is I don't know if i need to disconnect the ac or if i can leave that but what else do i need to disconnect other then the radiator hoses and how do i go about doing the rest of this. Ive never done a clutch before and im completly stumped as to how to go any further. If anyone could help I would appreciate it very much. pics are always plus
sorry this really bumbs me out
Thanks

Drop the whole cradle, will make the job much easier, plus you can clean up the motor and engine bay why it is out. Do you need a new clutch, I have one for sale that has about 8,000 miles on it. Pm me if interested.

If you just want to change the clutch and get it back on the road just pull the rear cradle bolts. Then the engine and all will swing down and you dont have to disconnect of anything except the slave cylender, shift cables and remove the starter. I dont think you have to disconnect anything else I don't remember if I did.
