After I got the muffler out, I could actually sit under the car cross-legged with my head where the muffler was. With the trans out, I could sit to work on the clutch.

Not nearly as high as I've read others say it needs to be.
I did the same job yesterday as well, but this time I used as JFP's suggestion to use guiding hex bolts with their heads cut off, well.. it went pretty smooth, it works very well along with the transmission jack, thanks JFP!

PS: I am not sure about the height (picture), but today I have a very sore neck, and no not at all from the transmission, but by bolting the slave to the transmission... now, just waiting for the coilovers to arrive for me to be back on the road
