2zzge Clutch and Flywheel

[virtualkuz]

What is involved to get to the clutch and flywheel on the 2zzge engine? I am thinking about eventually putting a lightweight aluminum flywheel on my XRS and am tempted to do my own clutch when the time comes (hopefully a long time from now!). Does the suspension need to be taken apart to get the transmission off of the engine? If it does then I am pretty sure I'll be paying someone to do it for me.

Yes. Usually with FWD cars, you gotta pull out the front axles and remove the tranny. This will require some sort of disassembly to the suspension...
