I see people are changing the clutch without popping the drive shafts out of the gearbox.
some are
disconnecting the lower ball joint Taking the clamp off the inner CV boot and sliding the drive shaft in two. Leaving a short piece of the drive shaft connected to the diff. Then reassembling with a zip tie
I can see some advantages
its quicker
less disturbance so less likely to leak from the the diff seals
there must be some disadvantage which I am overlooking ?
