Re: [DML] Clutch repair

Thanks for all the tid-bits.  Sounds like "fun". And less greasy than the 
Chevy was.  At least I'm in no rush. Spent a month on the Chevy, ~ three 
months on the DMC water pump- took my time.   Grab a wrench and I'm off.....

Read me like a book...

A proper transmission jack is almost a necessity. I also recommend
jacking up the car level rather than rear end high. With everything at
an angle, and the transmission teetering on a floor jack, I never
could get the bellhousing flush with the block by muscle power alone.
Came close enough to insert some bolts to pull them together, but no
matter how hard I tried to turn them in equal micro increments, the
splines on the input shaft bound inside the clutch disc. Twice. Crazy
thing is: you absolutely can not feel that while it's happening. Feels
like the transmission is re-mating smooth as silk. But it isn't.....
