Before, I pop the tranny off, there's one more thing.
 

The two engine/tranny brackets underneath the engine, I romved the two bottom bolts on the brackets so I could get the flywheel cover off, do I also need to take off the top ones and pull of the brackets all together? Or just the ones holding on the flywheel cover.

I have a D16Z6 and did not have to remove the flywheel cover. I just unbolted it from the transmission. But that is just my one experince.

Yes, the brackets need to come out too. They hold the tranny to the engine block.

Aye, I took em off anyway, so I could do my favoritest thing in the world, degrese and scrub clean! So yea, tomorrow everythings going on, Monday, Avid shiflinkage.

lemme know how your install went. im trying to do my clutch and flywheel tomorrow. hope everything goes well...
