I've never done this with the engine in the car, but I think this is how it should go. This applies to manual transmissions only.

(1) Remove the retainers on the yoke, at the rearend, that hold the drive line in place. Then push the drive line forward, move it out of the yoke, then pull it rearward out of the transmission.

(2) Support the rear of the engine so it can not rock backwards when the transmission is detached.

(3) Remove the shift lever and remove the two bolts that hold the transmission to the cross member.

(4) Remove the four bolts attacking the cross member to the frame. Rotate the cross member to remove. You may need to raise the rear of the engine slightly to take pressure off the cross member.

(5) Remove the four bolts attaching the transmission to the bell housing. Be sure to support the transmissions with a floor jack or something, they can be heavy. Then safely remove the transmission.

(7) Remove the spring and linkage connecting to the the throw out fork.

(8) Next remove the 6 bolts holding the bell housing to the rear of the engine, then remove the bell housing.

(9) Remove the bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel. You should now be able to remove the pressure plate and clutch disc.

(10) Install the new clutch disc with a line up shaft.

(11) Install the pressure plate and torque the bolts to the suggested torque. (Generally 25 to 40 ft-lbs.)

(12) You will probably want to replace the throw out bearing also while you have the bell housing removed.

(12) Remove the line up shaft, replace and secure the bell housing.

(13) Reconnect the clutch linkage and spring.

(14) The rest of the process is the reverse of removal.
