It's about time I replace my clutch, and I am wondering if there are going to be any interesting problems I might run into while doing this. I have an O/R X-pipe, so exhaust removal will be easy, since the bolts still look good. Last car I did a clutch on was a 92 Escort GT, and that wasn't too bad, so I can only imagine the stang is easier. Anything special I should look for, and any specialty tools involved? I've only got two days to do this in, so I want to be extra prepared. Thanks!

If your clutch is showing signs of wear it's time to change it.
A Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch would be a good clutch to
replace it with. Centerforce

there's no hidden tricks to it . just make sure the clutch kit you buy has the clutch alighnment tool before you begin your job. and maybe have a extra hand if your by yourself doing this on the ground. and you should be fine. good luck

Tape a paper cup over the end of the transmission tailhousing or stick the driveshaft yoke back in to keep the fluid from pouring out when you lower and raise the transmission.

i have seen many spam posts from him . one of the reasons i think for so many bad tech posts is the fact that post count only goes up in tech section. this leads too people that don't know **** posting about tech.

if this was my site i would either get rid of post counts or have it count in all forums. then the less knowledgeable members will stop poting bad tech,.
