Alfa 164 clutch change 4/4

Sorry, I ran out of memory for my camera, but at least I got the pressure plate and throwout bearing. I case anyone is wondering, I used a jack and a piece of square plywood under the sump to support the engine while the gearbox was off. Worked very well. What worked not so well was trying to eyeball the clutch disk under the pressure plate. (no alignment tool) It took three trys to get the gearbox mated to the engine (a Stanley 9/16 deepwell socket and a 4" extention makes a great improvised tool! One final thing, it is imperitive that the motor does not rotate backwards!!! The timing belt will go slack and could jump teeth! When you next start the car, all your hard work will be for naught!
