Re: Changing the clutch on an AAZ engine b4

Get some 4 x4 axle stands and jack car up as high as possible. Remove drive shaft and separate all wishbon/ suspension on near side and you should be able to drop box out.DO support engine and you should be able to get it out. Should only take an hour to remove.
