Default clutch install...

Well, my 94 LS has about 80,000 miles on it now and the clutch is 8 years old and it is starting to act a little weird. It is still very drivable... just you can tell its starting to wear out. I want to get an ACT heavy duty plate with and ACT organic street disc. My question is, is it really that hard to do the clutch? I know most of the steps involved. I know many people on this board have done it themselves. Can you let me know any tips, tricks... or just things to look out for. Oh yea, ive done exhaust, header, shocks/springs on my car already by myself. Also, how much would a shop charge to put the new clutch in? I dont really feel like payin somebody to do something i can do myself, ya know... thanks for the help guys..

Im gonna lift the engine to do mine. I dont know anyone that has done theres with the engine in the car, but I hear that is a hole lot easier with the engine out. You can also do the timing belt, and water pump while the engine is out too.

whut the? its done with the engine in the car alot. all you gotta do is pull the tranny off. just get under the car... whats so hard about it? ive installed a few ACTs before. its somewhat difficult at first, but if you have an idea od what you are doing.. its not that bad. its just time-consuming. if you can find a shop to do it for a good price.. i would go for it.
