One word: Centerforce :)
You'll have to remove the transmission and driveshaft to do it properly
since you should resurface the flywheel (so that you don't mess up a
perfectly new clutch disc).

Subject: DML: Clutch Replacement Questions?
I think I'm going to attempt replacing the clutch in my NV3500. I've
never done a clutch before, so I'm looking for advice from anyone who
has replaced one. Here are a couple questions I have.
1. Does the transmission need to be removed, or can it just be slid
back and tilted down to do the replacement? I guess this would be as
good a place as any to ask just how heavy that sucker is too?
2. Is there a decent throw-out bearing available that doesn't sound
like a can of loose ball-bearings? I'm thinking about purchasing a
Centerforce clutch. If they have a decent bearing to go along with the
clutch, I'll just get theirs.
3. I suppose its a good idea to replace the pressure plate along with
the clutch. Would this be correct?
4. I also suppose its a good idea to resurface the flywheel also.
Would this also be correct?
I'm open to any suggestions or recommendations. Like I said, this is
the first clutch replacement I will be attempting.
Thanks,
