Is it true that the the easiest way to replace the clutch in a mk3 with a 1jz swap is to pull the engine and tranny? I'm ask because I have replaced a clutch before in a different vehicsl and was just able to drop the tranny. Input would be awesome. Thanks

No. It's easier to just remove the transmission. You will need a 14mm a swivel socket and to lower the trans down to get the too trans bolts the easiest.
An with any r154 remove pressure plate from flywheel and then remove transmission. Install in reverse order.

If it's a W58, pull em both. R154 is easy to drop and swap (no alignment tool asshattery to deal with)
i have a question.... i keep seeing people mention to remove the pp from the flywheel before taking the trans out, and when installing the trans- bolt it up last.
when i put my new motor in last year, i pulled the trans with the pp still bolted to the flywheel, and installed it the same way. just like every other clutch job i've ever done.
i'm confused. why did it work out for me that way if everyone is saying to do it the otherway?

Its in the tsrm. thats how its done from the factory. and most of the time its a lot harder to get in and out with it on.
It's easy. Turn the crabk and tighten the bolts through the wholes.
Maybe you have a w58 transmission?

nope, it's definitely an r154. i just wonder why they want you to do it that way. i had no problems pulling the trans out then the motor. when i put it back together i installed the pp, then put the trans on. i put the motor and trans back in the car as one.
