easiest way to swap out the clutch?

[RCKSTR]

I know that theres tons of threads about clutchs but whats the easiest way to put in a new one? droping the tranny or taking out the motor?

I got one coming up but I'm not sure whats the easier way to do it :lol: (not my car)
I've done clutchs before but they were all during motor swaps so they were easy to access lol

If you have a lift, drop the tranny. Got a cherry picker? pull the motor.

I speak from expierience. Ive done a tranny/clutch install without a lift in a garage. It sucked. We only had 18" to work with. But when we had a lift. 1.5 hrs to pull the full tranny and install new clutch. Install took about an hour.

we've got a 2 post that we will have access too, sounds like drop'n the tranny is the way to go then... he probubly needs to change the tranny fluid anyways :lol:

Definately dropping the tranny. I'd recomend not using syn tranny fluid. A few ppl I have talked too have had problems with the syn eating away the seals. (I beeing one of them, hence why I needed to do a tranny swap)

I've allways thought that oem fluids are the way to go :) and now I know to not get syn fluids...

last time i pulled it for the clutch i pulled the motor. You can get enough room moving the motor forward after taking the radiator out to do the clutch and leave the A/C PS etc still attached. If you have a lift as said above then id take the trans out.

The car doesn't have a/c or ps to deal with. It would probably be better to pull trans since once you unhook the driveshaft, you'll be halfway done with the trans fluid change, cover your eyes:lol:

Axles are teh fun too!

if you have a lift, drop tranny.

when I did it in my garage I pulled the motor forward after removing the radiator and had room to do the clutch and flywheel and it was easy to align it all back together.

I talked to a Subaru Tech because mine is coming up in the near future and he said its by far easier to drop the tranny :)
