I seem to recall the consensus was to yank it - if you have the facilities. Of course if I was to drill into the pick up line I'd pull it. You're not old Donni...

To: [email protected] CC: [email protected] I'd love to hear others thoughts on this. Maybe it's just because I'm old and fat, but I really hated doing the clutch/flywheel/transmission removal and install under the car on jack stands. With a lift, there's no question. Maybe I'll feel differently after I tackle putting the whole shebang back in the car and spend days trying to figure out what I have left disconnected!

So one reason I helped Donni pull his motor/tranny was to see how hard it is as I have a local club member who is ready to buy a FM voodoo turbo and have me install it. It's a '90; compression checked out good, car is in decent shape, ready to go. He's going to order a happy meal clutch kit too. So the question is: Do I yank the powertrain and do it all that way or just do it like I normally would, clutch and turbo like separate jobs while in the car? I've done 6 or so clutches, not my favorite job with jack stands but I know the routine. Donni's was the first miata drivetrain I've helped pull and wow, there are a lot of step/bits to pull. I think Donni estimated there was like 6 hours worth of work to get it out by the end (his first). I'm in a 2 bay standard garage, so space is a bit tight. I recall this came up a few years ago but forget what the consensus was - So...how do ye vote? yank or no yank?
