installing a clutch really isn't that technical. the only problem you'll have is removing the bolts on the bell-housing. there's not a lot of room behind the engine, and you'll probably get some bloody knuckles in the process of removing them. the chilton or Haynes manual is a big help with locating the bolts, and torque specs. there are available at most auto parts stores.

well, since i'm doing that right now, i might be able to help

1-Jack up the car as high as you can go. Higher the better. then place jack stand.

2-Disconnect 02 sensers. Remove mid pipe. Disconnect clutch cable(u have to unbolt little ractanguler box that is located on lower left corner of trans looking from rear of the car)

3-Disconnect harness(2 or 3. can't think exactry how many of it top of my head).

4-Disassemble shifter trim. Then remove Shifter assembry.

5-Drain trans fluid(u don't have to, but by draining, makes it lighter, and avoid making mess on your garage floor)

6-Remove drive shaft(if u didn't drain fluid, there would be nit of leak from rear of trans after you slip off yoke).

7-Remove starter(if u taking it off with kmenber in place, do search. i think u need seriously loong extention to do that. i dropped Kmember on mine, so i can't help you there)

8-Support transmission with trans jack(can be done with floor jack. but trans jack makes it 100times easier)

9-While supported by jack, unbolt transmission crossmember.

10-Remove 2 bolts on bottome of belhousing(one that is bolted from engine side)

11- (next 2 steps are the fun part. I would strongly advise against doing this part your self. get pizza, and beer, and ruar your budys to help u out. I did it myself, and it was no fun. )
After making sure u didn't miss any wire, slowly lower your jack to tilt transmission. remove 4 more bolts(I think. their may be 1 or 2 ,more. i think total of 7 bolts). top 2 is hard to reach. u'll need several extention, to remove top 2 bolts. i think i made 3.5ft extention to get mine. Very top bolt on mine refused to comeout. I had to grind head off. But most people seems to have no issue getting bolts out as long as they leach the bolt with extentions. after you remove all the bolts, reach your arm up on the top, and push wire harness and metal harness support out of way. i didn't do this, and metal wire harness was in horrible shape after tranny came out. infact, i'm still trying to reshape that.

12-After removing all the bolts, jack trans back up to level position, and start wiggling it backwords. U might need to use prybar, rubber mallet, and so on to get input splin to slip out. took me while, and some cussing, it came out, however in about 10 min. Be patient. take your time to pull the trans away from engine. u don't want to dmg input shaft by no means

13-once trans input shaft is clear, slowly lower your jack down. If u didn't jack the car up high enough(as with my case), bellhousing will not clear everything to pull it out of under car while its on the jack. If that is the case, u and your buddy need to lift trans off of jack, and sit it down on the floor, and pull it out.

14-Now u unbolt pressure plate, and remove it out of way. BTW, pressure plate is surprisingly heavy. have your buddy hold on to it when you remove last bolt to catch it. And don't position anypart of you under it while unbolting last bolt(don't ask me how i know ).

15-unbolt flywheel to get it reserfaced. its pressure fitted to crank. you'll most likely need some sort of puller(i used steering wheel puller). again, have your buddy hold it when it pulls out this heavy chunk of metal off of crank. with its toothed edge, it hurt like hell when you drop it on your arm..... )...

16-Yank out old pilot bearing out. U'll need special puller or hydrolic ram(click here to find out more). then use soft face hammer, tap new one in

17-Replace your TOB.

18-after reserfacing, reinstall flywheel. torgue it to 54~64ft-lb. make sure you do cross patern when tightening. this is one part you do not want to throw if offbalance.

19-Reinstall your new clutch using aligment tools. then bolt pressure plate back on. torque it to 12~24ft-lb

after this is pretty much reverse of disassembly. I wrote it really quick. i'm sure i missed some thing. and i'm nor great speller iether. but you get the basic idea. its not difficult. but trans is heavy and your working in awkword space. makes it time consuming.

If u have any questions, pm me.
