Who knows but I'll answer the question now that it is bumped.

You do not need to pull the motor to install a clutch. The suframe needs to be removed and then the engine can be tilted towards the driver's side. With the engine supported you can pull the trans. out the drivers side wheel well.

4 years later. That's funny.

In case anyone cares, I did this about 2-3 months ago. PM if you have a question.

However, you DID do a search first, and that's how you found this thread.

That's a good thing, IMO.
