pretty sure i did. do i need to relase the clutch or something?05 focus zx3 5spd 180k 2.5 inch mbrp exhaust , steeda sri and ford racing dynamic suspensionComment

Nope just pull all the bolts and she should slide right out unless somehow the input shaft rust welded to the clutch disk. Highly doubt that happened though. I didnt think I needed to pull all the little bolts out and mine would not budge. Pulled the last remaining little bolts and she slid right off. Good luck with it man.

The little bolts we're referring to are the two or three 10mm bolts holding the cover plate to the transmission on the oil pan side.Ian

did you remove the 2 bolts holding the bracket/hose to where the starter was? that hose has to be moved.. i had the same thing happen to me, and i finally figured it out.. the last bolt on the right side of the bracket is a royal b for me to get off.Comment

I had this happen when I was doing mine...how many bolts did you remove? I think there were 12 or 13...there are a few small ones behind where the starter goes, but not in the starter hole89' Maroon and black Festiva LX with a sunroof. :alien:Comment

If you have removed all the bolts, you should have 4 tiny bolts, 2 medium size bolts, and 4 big bolts. The little bolt inside the starter hole does not have to be removed. Do you have a CV axle stub shaft with the cir clip on it stuck in the transmission? If you do that may be catching on the tin plate.You gonna race that thing?
