Default DIY Question: Changing EP3 clutch, do you need to drop the subframe?

hey guys, just wondering, ive been building motors and doing all that crap into all other year cars but never worked on an EP3... anybody have any experience on changing out clutches on an ep3? anythign to look for exactly? and most importantly, do you need to drop the Subframe to tilt the tranny down? ive done a million clutch jobs for b-series but is it similar for the EP3? hope to hear from you guys soon.. thanks

Yes the subframe has to come out. The tranny will not get past the subframe.
