      Clutch Replacement 2007 Aveo5

      Folks:

      The car is on the lift. To replace the clutch, PP and throw out bearing I need to separate the transmission from the engine. Do I need to remove the engine/transmission as a unit from the car?

      Appears there is insufficient clearance on the left frame rail to remove the transmission while in the car. Just doesn't bode well if I have to remove the entire package from the car. The usual rusted exhaust and etc can make the job just so much more odious.

      And if you say the package must come out would that be from the bottom or top?

      Ralph

      Typically drop out everything from the bottom is fast.But you can use a strut tower engine brace drop the k frame and lean the tranny down and out, but the axles may become an issue since the slide into the tranny. Since you are only doing a clutch you don't need it all the way out, so that should work fine.

      Thank you. I have the axles out. What manual transmission fluid will work? The GM number is 89021806 however there is none in the Springfield, MA area. There must be an equivalent 10W30 or similar that will not cause problems.
