Hey guys just got my clutch in and Im almost ready to install. How much of a hassel will it be for me? I hear since my car is older and a slittle smaller its somewhat easy to accomplish. And what will I have to do to get this new one in? Can I leave everything pretty much in given the exception of Im sure a few things.

 

How inclined are you when it comes to cars?

Also what tools do you have?

 

Im pretty good with cars, just never done a clutch before. I Have enough tools for the job but I was just wondering if I would have to remove anything before getting at the clutch.

 

if you have the tools and a maunel you should be fine just be ready for a day or so of work if your doing it hand tools only for a first time.

 

Step by step instructions (sort of) this is actually pretty un detailed but it tells you what you need to do.

1. Disconnect negative and positive battery cables. Remove battery base and air cleaner and tube assembly. Disconnect starter and transaxle ground cables. Remove engine harness clamp. Disconnect speedometer sensor connector.
2. Remove clutch cable from bracket. Drain transaxle fluid. Remove starter. Remove engine splash guards and right wheelwell splash shields.
Remove header pipe if its in the way. Separate lower control arms from ball joints. Remove right radius rod. Using 2 large screwdrivers, pry both drive shaft inner
CV joints out of transaxle. Protect drive shaft ends.
3. Remove header pipe bracket. Remove shift and extension rods (at shifter). Remove splash guard and front stopper bracket. Install hoist at proper places on
engine, and lift engine slightly to unload engine mounts.
4. Place a jack under transaxle, and slightly raise jack to take weight off transaxle mounts. Remove front transaxle mount. Remove rear transaxle mount
bracket. Remove side transaxle mount. Remove transaxle housing mount bolts. Pull transaxle away from engine, and remove transaxle.

Hope this helps

 

I did an entire tranny swap by myself in 9 hrs with handtools. It's not hard. GET A HAYNES OR CHILTONS. It will make it really easy. They have step by step how-to's with pictures and everything.
