clutch question

I picked up a 2000 protege lx with 152k on it. It needs a clutch.
Question is can the trans come out without pulling the engine also?
Is there any threads on here that can help?

RE: clutch question

yes the tranny can come out without pulling the motor. you just need to pull the axles and drop the tranny out of the bottom.

RE: clutch question

I did alot of searching and read many posts. It seems you really know what your talking about with these cars. Thanks for the advise. Any surprises when I do the clutch? Is there a pilot bearing?

RE: clutch question

From experience what other items should I change while the tranny is out of the car?
I see the rear engine mount is a bitch to get out. Is this better accessed when the tranny is out?

RE: clutch question

the rear engine mount isn't a whole lot easier to get to with the tranny out. the only thing that really makes it any easier to get to is pulling the intake manifold.
