Wonderfull article. It's just a shame I found it after I've completed my clutch project. I, like Mark mentioned, did not have to remove the heat sheild or starter either. As a matter of fact no intake manifold or components were dismantled to acheive my task as well. I did find it helpfull, after studying the situation, to just take a little more time and remove the entire radiator support. It drasticly helps with the Eng. /Tranny removal. Take your time. Double check everything. MED
