Help clutch change? Options

[bdog_v]

Hello I just bought a 94 toyota celica GT model 2.2 liter. The clutch is slipping and needs to be changed. I just bought a chilton manual that is very helpful but I am a little concerned. I have changed clutches before on rear wheel drive but never a front wheel drive car.

-I have searched for over an hour for a good write up on how to do this on a 6th gen. or 94 celica with no luck???



-My main question is this. When disconnecting the trans from the motor, the motor is no longer attached to the body in any way that I am aware of so,



-do people usually just pull the whole motor out with the trans.?
*Personally I don't like this idea*

-If so do they drop it out the bottom or pull it out. I don't have an engine hoist at my garage.



-Or how does one go about supporting the motor after the trans is out?

*would just some chains do the job wrapped around the motor and connected to the upper braces on each side of the engine bay?





-How is this usually done, and how difficult is this job say compared to
other cars??? I don't want to pay a ton to have it done when I can do it, unless it wouldn't cost that much...... Thanks guys, I just bought this car and am already losing my hair!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Also I was thinking of buying a centerforce stage II clutch I want a firmer pedal than stock and more holding power. *But it has to have a spring loaded puck!* I don't want an all out racing clutch....

-What is the best clutch for the money???

when i did the clutch change - we took off the lower support arm, disconnected all the motor mounts and tranny mounts, lowered the engine slightly - removed the axles... well removed the tires/wheels, hubs and then the axles then unbolted the motor/tranny mounts - lowered the engine + tranny, support it. unbolted the tranny from the engine and surprisingly the tranny only weight like 30 pounds or something rather - not very heavy at all. and replaced the clutch.

i meant cv joints, not axle lol oops

ill edit this later on, shouldnt the chilton book go in mass amounts of detail on this? i mean that book is made for dumbies haha "how to fix ish on the celica 101"
