Lucky for me, my tranny slid right on first stab at it. I was alone in my garage with the car on jackstands so I literally jumped up with excitement that it went on so easy. I used a cheap orange strap to level the rear of the tranny and a common floor jack seen in the pictures above with a piece of wood.

Iluvjdm when you unbolted your pressure plate did you run into anything else or did it slide right off after that? I'm in the same boat by myself on jack stands at least the motor isn't in the car so I have a lot of room.

Nice dude glad it came off finally. First time I did it I had never replaced a clutch before and had it unbolted and was like...FML two hours later I ended up bolting it back going on a thread because the lancershop.com step by step didn't mention prykng off the TOB or it didn't print one of the two. (I was new didn't know lol). Once I bolted it back up came right out lol you live and you learn 'merica
