I'm getting ready to pull the trans to replace the throwout bearing that just starting making noise, and of course with 127k on the clock I'll replace all of the clutch components while I'm in there. The only thing that concerns me is that the top rear of the intake manifold is very close to the firewall (1/2"+/-), and because of this I'm not sure I'll be able to drop the rear of the engine far enough to access the upper bellhousing bolts with the intake in place. Anyone out there done a clutch replacement with this intake manifold in place? It won't bother me to remove it if necessary, but I don't want to do the extra work if I can help it. Thanks for any relevant input!
