Easy as long as all the bolts come out nice.1. remove shifter2. remove h-pipe3. remove clutch cable4. drain tranny and remove driveshaft5. remove starter and all bellhousing bolts6. put a jack under the tranny and remove trans crossbrace7. lift front of engine and wiggle the tranny outTip, take a SOLO cup and push it on the back of the tranny after you remove the driveshaft. It will help you from not swimming in a puddle of tranny fluid. Unless you just drain the fluid, probably not a bad deal to swap out the fluid anyways. Start at the interior of the car, remove the shifter before you get all nasty and get your interior dirty.Make sure you jack up the car high enough for the bellhousing to come out. And, be ready to jack up the front of the motor (front pan area, using a block of wood) to lower the rear of the motor/trans for easy removal. Definitely make sure the car is supported right, on a flat surface, and stable. Had a buddy get killed when a car fell on him.On the clutch itself, hopefully it comes with a good t/o bearing. I'll be doing this same thing soon, my t/o is making noise. It only has like 3000 miles on it. I'll probably go with a Ford Racing or a Centerforce this time instead of a OEM.</blockquote>
