Been a bit since the last time I did a clutch IN a car. I seem to recall hearing of doing one w/out taking the trans out. I'd rather not have to do that, as removing the exhaust, turbo bits, and trans adds a lot more work. Ant thoughts or hints/tips? Its just me in the garage today, so hopefully I can get this done for the weekend.

Every clutch job that I've done in a 914 I had to remove the trans. Just support the engine w a jack n stands. Once I got the engine low enough I put 1 jack stand under each side of the engine then put a 2x6 across the headers to support the back of the engine. I've removed several trans in my 914 by myself in my younger years. Yes, two people make the job alot easier for sure.
