Ok, I have an Si/ZC tranny and a new clutch I'm about to put in and I have a couple of questions:
1) How much of a pain would it be if I did it in my garage?
2) Would I be able to do it easily without any help?

I have all the tools I'll need, including air tools and 2 2.5 tons floor jacks. See, I have the option of doing it at one of the local Honda dealers since my bestfriend works there. So, since him and I will be doing it there won't be any charges for labor or any bs like that. BUT my clutch should have been replaced a couple of weeks ago, I just haven't had the time to do it. And I won't be able to take it up to my friend's work for a few days, and it's my daily driver. Now, I haven't changed a clutch before, that's why I was wondering this. Thanks.

I vote do it at home. Working in other people's garages sucks in my opinion.

I've done them in my tiny garage with no problems at all... I personally think that the easiest way to do it is to take the radiator out, the battery out, and the battery tray out. Also remove the right radius rod. It sounds like a lot of extra work, but it makes it so much easier.

Also, pay close attention when putting the throwout bearing return spring back on. It has to go behind the fingers on the fork, not in front... otherwise you'll break the spring and be screwed.

 

a friend and i did mine in bowl america parking lot , took us about 4 hours.
