2007 Outback legacy 

is it easier to drop the transmission to change the clutch or pull the engine?  Odd question maybe.  I can’t find any information on the weight of the 5 speed manual that’s in the car.  I don’t have a lift but i do have a cherry picker.  I’m just not sure if I can get the car high enough to drop the transmission.  What have you guys done?  Thanks

I've done it both ways  but without help or a tranny jack, i'd lift the engine. 

You have to get it up high and its no fun wrestling that weight.

Yes you have to drain the coolant and separate  the exhaust (don't forget to disconnect the O2 sensors), but I can do this without help.

If you have other engine maintenance to do, pull the engine.  Yes either works.

Reseal the oil separator plate behind the flywheel.  RTV - gray.  Get the metal plate if you'r is plastic.
