How to change a clutch???
A gross simplification:
Remove driver side wheel, disconnect your suspension from the half shaft. Drop the sub frame, unbolt the tranny from the block, pry it open, unbolt the pressure plate, remove pressure plate, remove clutch. Have fun. Not something I'd want to spend a weekend doing when you could have it done for me. I'm glad I had BM Tranny (now merged with Turbo Trix Racing) do mine. Saved me a big headache.

Tools aren't a big deal. You can easily do this with an impact wrench and/or sockets and a pry bar (to open the tranny and disconnect suspension), but you do NOT want to be doing this without a lift. It's REALLY hard to work under there without the space. If you have access to a shop...sure it's a lot for one person, but doable.

Not many people have done clutch installs. I doubt you're going to find many people with pictures, if any at all. And unless someone has been quiet a long time or watched/participated in their clutch install like I did or Road Race decides to take and post pics, I doubt they're gonna get posted. Service manual may be your best bet. Again though, not something I'd wanna try without a lift. And this coming from someone who did his own rods, pistons and rings in his driveway (and still hasn't had the time to finish putting it all back together
).
).
what all should you change out if you upgrade your clutch and pressure plate...i heard you should get a new throw-out bearing and resurface the flywheel, but what's up with the pilot bearing and the imput shaft bearing that i've been hearing about?
