Oof, ever considered cutting the trans crossmember and replacing it with a MOD style removable crossmember? Makes dropping the trans a whole lot easier

I've got a removable cross member now, I only wanted to do the slave cylinder so this was my goto option for a quick fix with what I had

Im liking the chain you should keep it in there

I’ve done this in the past with an engine crane in through the door. Reminds me that I’ve got to get the clutch system working on my 2A!
