That is kind of funny

The same thing happened to me and when I removed the gearbox in order to replace the clutch all the nice smelling oil ended up in my face

its not hard at all to change your clutch.. ive done it enough times to know that its pretty simple to do.. just takes a lil patients.. all you need is a good floor jack and a lil muscle.. probably the hardest part is lining it back up.. thats where your muscles come in.. lol if you dont want to drain it first before taking out the transmission, after taking out the driveshaft leave the one end thats connected to the transmission in place because thats the only place the oil can come out but if the driveshaft is still in then you wont get a huge oil spill on your driveway...

oh yeah... have the car up on jackstands , disconnect the starter, clutch slave cylinder and anything else connected to the tranny.. remove the drive shaft and take out all the bell hosuing bolts. and before you take out the transmission mount make sure you have a jack supporting the transmission. oh i forgot you need to take out your shifter.. thats pretty simple.. then after you take out the cross memeber that supports the transmission its a matter of pulling the transmission away from the car and lower it with your floor jack.. oh one more thing.. if your planning on taking out your flywheel i sudjest you get an impact gun to take out the bolts.. having an impact gun will make your job a lot easier..

One brick @ a time and when i got them all on one brick stuck stuff under the jack and then did it all over agin. its 2 high bricks in the frount 1 brick high in the back. also u might wanna make shure ur e-brake holds good as u have to put a lot of trust on it. i wasnt scared but my friend was so

Im going to do it soon agin and this time sand and brush on bed liner and install Frame rails go over your existing frame rails to add strength. http://znzx.com/specials.htm

-btw how did icice9 get his car next to his username w. 5 posts... i been savein to do that lol

oh my gawd!!!! that looks totaly unsafe!!! think you should get a set of jackstands... ive heard some pretty bad storries where the car or a van fell and killed someone... using bricks is totaly "ghetto" dont do it unless you have some kind of death wish....
