you have to drop the trans out of the vehicle...you also have to pop the axles out of the trans before doin so....it wont mess anything up you just have to remove them

You have to remove the driveshafts regardless before you can get anywhere on this project. You have to remove the entire transmission, otherwise you will never have enough room to PROPERLY replace the clutch and get it set into proper position, to remove the pressure plate, and flywheel. It is a pretty fun and a PITA job to do. I did it on my 99 Z-24. We also have slave cylinders, not throw out bearings, we have hydrolic clutch systems.
