A MUST: lower the rear of the engine cradle about 3 inches. The 2 cradle bolts closet to the front need to be backed out about half way. The middle bolts remove. The bolts at the rear of the cradle back out until the cradle drops 3 inches. Use a jack to support the cradle the entire time.
When you do this you can see and get to all of the trans bolts. Also no rotating and twisting of the trans. will be needed.
I just finished up changing the clutch and lowering the cradle is the only way to do it without a whole lot of hassle.
Install a remote slave bleeder while you are at it, makes bleeding the slave a breeze.
