Question on Clutch Replacing

Re: Clutch Replacement.

Pretty good directions that is up and until I attempted to remove the transmission. Try as you might, it is impossible to remove the transmission without also dropping the sub frame and there were no directions for that here. Took a bit of thought and injenuity, but its done! Oh, mine is a 2007 56R. Please update article and it would be great.
