longtube clutch install

[ugotbitt]

I know this has probably been asked before, but I searched it and could not find anything about the SLP 1 3/4 longtube headers. I am about to do a clutch install in my 03 cobra and wanted to know if I have to take the headers off to get the trans or bell housing off? Anyone with SLP's please help.

i have BBK LTs and i was able to pull the tranny out w/o the bellhousing and then wiggled the bellhousing out

Just so everyone knows the transmission and bell housing came off and out without a fuss. Now for the clutch to be sent off to Mcleod racing to be rebuilt.:banana:

I did this back in Janurary. It was a PITA. I have the SLP heads, everything was simple enough, except for the starter bolts. I used a 36 inch extention with a universal and a 9 inch extention with a swivel socket, along with a lot of "why the hell am I doing this!!!"
It can be done.

Thats pretty much the way it went for me, but got it done.
