Can you confirm if I need to first remove the manual transmission on a 95 Eclipse in order to remove the Engine? Based on the space available on the front side It appears I do.

Thanks in advance for your help,

You do not. The clutches are modular and can be unbolted from the thin flexplate, meaning you only need the 1" or so available on the front side of the motor to extract the engine from the bay without the trans.

I think there are exactly 8,458,202 subjects about this if you do a search.. I know b/c I did it and it worked for me :) g'luck if ya run into any problems look me up on aim RAWDAWGSTV
