Alright guys. I finally got my ACT clutch kit and ACT flywheel and I was supposed to go to my cousins shop tonight to have him install it for me, but he called and said he is too busy till next weekend. So anyway I know how to install it and have done similar installs before but I am really not in the mood to do it myself and don't have the money to have someone else do it. I don't have a lift and i have a bad back lately.
Anyway my question is whether or not it is possible to do a clutch AND flywheel without removing the tranny. i've installed clutches before just by separating the tranny from the engine and squeezing it in there. I don't want to go through the trouble of removing the axles and etc. etc.
if this is possible will it be too much of a pain? should i just remove the tranny? I really want to finish it in like a day.

Sorry man it can't be done. Even if you tried toi spred the two apart the axles would have to come out just to let the tranny move away from the engine. Safe your self some future headaches and do it right and take the tranny out, that way you can be sure everything is right. Also i would reccomend changing the rear main seal while you are there.
