MUST RESURFACE your OLD FLYWHEEL if reusing it, Napa does it for $38, i was gonna use it w/out resurface, VERY glad i got it done, he said NO WAY wouldve it lasted, it was cupped.

The tranny comes apart in 2 pieces, unbolt tranny from bellhousing first, then unbolt bellhousing from motor.

BENCH BLEED YOUR MASTER CYLINDER!!!! I SCREWED UP and had to take it back out, its a total bitch to do.

Dont forget to do the drill mod, i forgot while i had the master out and once i got it back in i sure as hell wasnt taking it back out!!

make sure you get a center pilot bearing puller, dont EVEN try to do the grease method, that can damage your engine!!

Make sure you have a tranny jack, thats the only thing that works halfway decent!!
