I'm pretty sure that's the only way to do it is by dropping the subframe. I had to drop mine to do my clutch swap. Fak I'm so antsy to get my car back togeather.

Pickles, a member who use to come out alot, did a clutch swap without dropping the subframe I believe. I don't think it was fun lol

That sounds like it would suck haha. Considering dropping the subframe is super easy.

One thing I'm very thankful for with this build, my buddy has a hoist. That's where I'll be doing the swap. He only lives like 5 min from me. And currently where my car is stored.

I have been debating on posting a build thread but not too many people who live in the states really care about us "Dogsled" drivers! lol

I'll just give someone the parts list if they ask what all i have! lol
