    Hello, I need help from someone in the Washington DC area to help me finish a clutch at your location. I bought an 89 SHO about 4 months ago that had a bad clutch and started working on it. I had some problems with some broken Y Pipe bolts and such that held up the process quite a bit...

    Help, about to drop the tranny for the first time!

    Dropping the Y pipe the 2nd time is not going to be hard. The first time you have to go through 15 years of corroded bolt! Next time I have have NEW bolts which will make it a whole lot easier....If there is a next time. ML

    I just remembered that I bought an engine hoist from ebay a while back. I think that may work to support up top. I bought it when I was working on my 13 rotary race engine but never needed it, that thing weighs a little more then a keg. I will have to see if I can mount it up in the...
