When you have tranny out, check to make sure the ring gear is in good condition. If worn you may or should replace it. It's not fun pulling tranny etc. just to replace a ring gear on the flywheel especially after having just replace the clutch.

Getting the pilot bushing out was very hard, i used a hammer and a screwdriver to chisel through the whole thing. I then put the new one in, now time to put my flywheel on ( was very hard to do by myself under my truck, due to it had to line up 1 way so it would screw in correctly, and it was just very heavy ) I finnaly got that in, put my clutch setup on. and found out i forgot to put that sheet metal backing plate that goes behind everything on, so I took everything apart, put it all back together!!! and then called it a day!

On 2nd day ( today) i bolted the bellhousing up right away after school, with the new throughout bearing, and So now the tranny is ready to go in. I got my dad upstairs to help me, after about 30 minutes of agrivation we finnaly got it in. It was not fun due to my engine was all tilted backwards because the tranny was taken out, so we had to put the tranny in at the angle the engine was tilted at. NOT FUN! We FINNALY got it in. I bolted everything down except for starter, shifter, and driveshaft, becasue it was getting late. Put the clutch linkage together, and The throughout bearing almost came off!!! I was so happy I got it back on, If it came off, I would have to take everything apart, and put it back together. So tommorow all I need to do is put the starter, shifter, driveshaft , and my 2 front shocks on then I can drive it for the first time in about 6 months.

Im happy for now
