You gotta pull the trans if it is the 6 speed. The 5 speed is easy. You should consider replacing the master at the same time.

The throwout and slave are a unit so the trans and motor need to be split apart. From what I remember the book saying, the trans will not clear the subframe so you have to unbolt the subframe or remove the motor with the trans attached. I ended up pulling the motor. Someone with experience may have an easier time pulling it out but it was a pain in the ass for me.
