F8 clutch - help!

[gordon]

Well I've only ever worked on the Ford V8 in my snow blower, and I do recall that the bellhousing did limit access to the clutch area.

I'd be very reluctant to remove the transmission just to fix this, unless you are ona schedule and need it fixed right away. I think you should seek more advice on here and see if anyone else can come up with a better solution.
