I'm replacing the clutch in my daughter's '91 pickup truck. It's the 4 cylinder with 5-speed tranny. From my search results I'm realizing that I'm not alone in feeling that this is more difficult than any other clutch I've worked on.

I've unbolted everything and have pulled the tranny back so the input shaft is out of the clutch. BUT the back of the tranny is above the truck frame under the bed, and it doesn't look like it is physically possible to move the front of the tranny down without catching the rear between the frame and bed. It looks like the only other option is to unbolt the tail section from the transmission and take it out in two pieces (but I'm not sure how many other pieces would fall out if I do that).

I must be missing something. What's the trick to getting that thing out?

Thanks a million,
Tim
