Yea its easier to do if you have a lift..for the people that did it themselves you can't tell me you did it by simply just jacking it up with a jack and putting it on jackstands???

Oh and just curious? but how did you figure out how to do it? From a manual, friend, or just learned as you went??Thanks

 

Definitely did it with a lift and followed the Chilton manual to the tee the first time, I couldn't see doing it on jack stands.

 

so basically i better get a mechanic with a lift to do it...

 

I did it without a lift.

 

Well im going to get under my car and check things out this weekend and try to map out my work... I guess then ill know what im looking at.

 

You could definitely do it without a lift, after doing it on a lift, I think it would be a pain to try and do it on a jack.

 

me, and a few friends swapped the tranny on his DSM w/o a lift, and will be doing the clutch and flywheel on my teg as soon as i buy them

 

Even if I had a lift and a manual to follow. I still don't think I'd have enough confidence to go and start tearing into things. I'd be too afraid that I would get into something and not no how to do it. Then I would be screwed becase I would have everythign apart and no way of getting it together. Oh well I wouldn't try it with out a lift anyways and I don't have a lift.
