Fairly certain you have to drop the engine and gearbox also the subframe.I do know it's a big job!!Not for the faint hearted.

Yea you gotta drop the subframe. My mechanic said never bring the car for another clutch change lol.

It took my mechanic a full day to do the exhaust it is a massive job. I asked if i could've done it. He said "the only way anyone could do it is if they hard a car lift no matter their ability. if you dont it will take u 6 months.

It's hard enough to take the freaken oil filter off in our cars if its tight due to the stupid positioning i wouldnt even attempt to tackle the gearbox

there are a **** to do, however if you have the right tools and you can move the gearbox away from the engine and you just have enough room to get the clutch but you need a cluch aligning tool to line it up pretty tricky but you can do it without removeing the subfram just the box will be in the way
