I am in the process of taking my brother's 5sp trans out to redo the clutch and i've ran into a huge problem. The header is in the way of letting us get it out. What is a way or the easiest way for me to get it out? Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Matt

well when we did mine i was underneath it, but there was no k-member in there either & it was up on a rack. so i'm thinking the top might be easier for you
