get a haynes manual for this car btw lots of great info and this is an easy job might take several hours since its your first time with this car but after doing it 7+ times in the past 2 years i can get it done rockin fast haha. but its very simple let us know if you need any help with it and if your taking off the flywheel have fun haha, its a PIA but torque those bolts to 100ft/lbs when you put it back on and the pressure plate bolts to 17ft/lbs in an alternating pattern. and its all metric lol so if you only have standard size tools for da mustangs you need to invest. i think a 10 12 and 14 is all thats needed to remove the tranny and pressure plate and drive shaft the flywheel bolts might be like an 18 cant remember off the top of my head

Thanks for that. Those were the next things I was going to have to go searching for because I didn't know the torque specs on those and I wasn't looking forward to it. But really it hasn't taken me long to get everything done. It is a little weird to me and my buddy (Mustang Guy and Camaro Guy) but we are pretty good at figuring it out. Its just a matter of finding the time to finish. Between school full time and working full time theres not alot of time left over.

i hate all the which Z is real stuff. it reminds me of middle school when everyone would argue about who was a "real skateboarder". the way i see it, they are all part of the same series, and the series changed a lot. but we still get enthusiasts that like the whole series, and not just specific ends of it. so evidently, there is something special about all of the z cars.
