Ok guys, I am supposed to change out my rear main and clutch on Saturday. I have a lift I can use at a friends house so that will be easier that the driveway fix. Anything I should know before I start? Any way to do it easier is what I am looking for. I have 2 friends that are going to be helping me out. One is an ASE mechanic at the Chevy dealer here in town, the other is a good mustang buddy who had done a few AOD to T-5 swaps in the past few years. I figure since the rear main has been leaking, the clutch probably has some oil on it too. Either way, since I have to take the clutch off, I am changing it. It has seen its share of burnout contests and 4k rpm launches in the past 2 yrs. Any help is greatly appreciated as always.
