| Briskodian |  Clutch Removal - Almost there! Hello All, I've decided to give a clutch replacement a go myself and so far things are going ok. I am about to remove the transmission but I am not sure if I have the clearance. The transmission is a 02J type. I have lowered the transmission so I could remove the bolts that attach it to the mounting bracket. I have also undone the 2 large bolts that attach the mounting bracket to the subframe. My problem is that even though I have removed the 2 bolts there appears to be some sort of metal 'dowel' still holding the bracket onto the transmission (see pic). I cant seem to remove it because it is on both sides of this link point. Trying a suitable drift to push this out does nothing. Does this bracket need to come off. Looking at it, I need the clearance. Also any more tips from this point would be greatly appreciated. In the Haynes manual it mentions moving the engine forward to gain extra clearance but there doesnt seem to be much give in it and I dont want to strain the left side mount. Also what kind of distance do I need to clear the transmission shaft from the clutch? Many thanks in advance!  By the way the Haynes manual for this is procedure is crap.
