89 Clutch Replacement

Here's a couple of other methods I found helpful on the tranny drop:

I bolted 1 inch plywood 10x16 inches to the bottom of the tranny. There were a couple of bolts already on the bottom of my tranny possibly for a factory skid plate option. Anyway I used these as an attach point at the tail of the tranny which made a huge difference in stabilizing the tranny from rolling. Remember to recess the bolt holes so it can lay flat on the floor. A piece of 2x4 is necessary to shim between the front end of the plywood and the tranny.



A redneck tail support using newfound top access hole where shifters used to be. The cinch strap worked great on the tail end and negated the need for a jack. The tail isn't that heavy and can easily be lowered and secured from underneath using the cinch lock.


I used a ratchet strap to cradle the front end of the tranny once it dropped off the block. I think I'd use a cinch strap here instead next time because the cinch lock allows you to lower and lock the position. I'll definitely use the ratchet strap to lift the tranny back up into position on reinstall to the block though
