I recently witnessed a clutch replacement by removing the transmission
from below and leaving the engine in the car. This was done on a lift.
Pat Braden could be referring to someone doing it without a lift and
then renting an engine hoist might be easier? Don't know, but the trans
sure can come off without the engine in GTVs.
