LGT05tsully691 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hey new to this forum, I have an 05 lgt 5mt. My clutch is on it's way out. Decided to replace this weekend. I'm going to drop the rear drive shaft and slide the tranny to the rear of the car to replace the clutch do you guys have any tips? And or any problems commonly run into while doing this?

FknBoss Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It's simpile. Like doing a rwd clutch but has 2 axles coming out of it lol. Pull the intercooler to get most of the bolts from up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGT05tsully691 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Should I disconnect the cv shafts or is there enough play to work with? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FknBoss Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Always are. They get corrosion from years of being bolted together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gex Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Use Extra S in the trans. Can be bought by the quart from site Vendors such as Infamous and Fred Beans Parts. I think the tranny uses 3.5qts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
