Default How hard is it to replace a clutch in a 5-speed manualtransmission?

How do you measure that the engine is "level"?
I have levels, of course.


I hesitated when I wrote that. The axis of the engine's crankshaft when
it is supported has to be the same as that of the transmission's input
shaft. The whole lashup could be at a 20 degree angle relative to the
floor as long as both match.

Another way to look at is the perpendicular mating surfaces need to have
matching angles.
