Why do you think it's stupid? How do you think you change a clutch? For what you are doing simply unbolt the box off the back of the bellhousing and change it. You'll have to remove the shifter, tailshaft and gearbox crossmember to do it. |

Also, make sure you get the car as high as possible and support it extremely well on 4 jack-stands (or a pair of ramps at one end and jack-stands at the other...).

Also drain the oil out of the box or you will have oil every where as you have to tilt the box to get it out. And these boxes are heavy, don't drop it on yourself!
While you have it out would pay to check the clutch and pressure plate, for that you have
