Hiya Brock,

Take another look at your third picture....................

What you have pictured there is the bellhousing sans torque converter.  The clutch lives on the other side of the bellhousing.  You have to remove the bellhousing to access the clutch.

Hi Guys,
as Mike says, the clutch plate, pressure plate and throw out bearing etc are all inside the bell housing..
the trick is....
You have to take the bottom plate OFF
to take the nuts off the studs...
so, You need to drain the gearbox... of hypoid oil..
its usual to replace the old oil with new hypoid oil..

cheers
