Changing clutch*new pics*

ok me and my cousin are trying to change the clutch on his 240, its turned out to be more work than we expected but, i think we have all the tranny bolts removed and we removed the slave cylinder and starter, once all the tranny bolts are off how does the tranny come off? do we pull it or what, what method do you guys use? also is it absolutely necessary to remove the driveshaft?

LOOK DOWN FOR PICS

it is ez to do your self provided you can raise the car pretty high.

Matt just remove the bolts then disconnect the drive shaft. Wiggle the tranny off. Getting it back on is the PITA. just reverse the way you took it off.

SW20- I buy th parts yourself and work a deal out with a shop to let you use the lift and tools.

yes we have the high raising 3 ton jack and a small jack holding the tranny for support and 2 jack stands holding the car up also, but if you got all the tools necessary and you got time then id say you can diy, but its just more than what i expected to do. And btw thank you all for helping me out, i thought i would get flamed for having a integra on here but u guys are cool thanks a lot
