Does the tranny have to be taken out from under the car in order to change the clutch?! Or can you somehow push it back?

Once you unbolt it enough to do everything you need to do, it'd fall on you anyways.
So yes, the tranny needs to be removed...unless the engine is out of the car and the tranny is in the chassis.

there are pegs, at least on my jimmy, That hold the tranny in place so its easy to remove/ replace bolts. if there wernt pegs it would be hard to take the last bolt out and yud have to watch it when you got it off so it doesnt crush your head.

Thanks everyone!
Another question: When I replace the clutch, do I put all the stuff (pressure plate, clutch cover) on the engine side? Or do I put them on the tranny side?

Engine side.
The pressure pate is bolted on the flywheel.
and the new clutch disk goes between the pressure plate and the Flywheel.
Don't forget to get a Clutch disk alignment tool.
