raised the car back, and removed the rest of the transmission bolts.
mounted the bolts on a cardboard (courtesy of Wayne ) made by my wife.



Gotta love a wife that DOES that! It is a REALLY GOOD idea…thank your wife for me! Now my wife can have some involvement too!

with the clutch removed, i could see the RMS and IMS.



measured the distance between the RMS and crankshaft, ant it seats on 14 mm.
so i guess it was replaced before, and that is the reason for the previous transmission removal.
a little bit of clean up, and a closer look, and i can tell i need to get the single row bearing (deep dish)




some pics of the clutch disc and pressure plate:










will take some pics of the flywheel and will post it later.

the clutch disc looks like it still got some "meat" on it, but not too much.
never had slipping issue, but i hope once the new clutch is in, it will be much more soft.
wonder if someone can tell if its the original clutch or not.
the kit i got from eBay, looks exactly the same.
