Folks:

I'm getting a custom-built T5 to replace my current T5, in chassis 168. I've searched previous threads on doing a trans change without pulling the engine (that is, dropping it underneath the car). Previous posts indicate that I may have to unbolt the differential and drop it an inch or so to obtain clearance to pull the driveshaft (once unbolted from the diff) back off the trans output shaft. Is that correct? Does that mean I have to unbolt the halfshafts as well?

Jeez I was thinking this was going to be simple, now I'm not so sure. Any and all tips appreciated as I'm not that much of a mechanic yet.
