It was a joke... ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
Best thing you can do is pick up a shop manual. Want the basics? Remove the shifter handle, driveshaft, starter, H-pipe, index plate cover bolts (2 each), remove the clutch cable cover, disconnect the clutch cable, remove the trans crossmember, transmission, pressure plate, clutch disc. Install in reverse order. Don't forget to install a new throwout and pilot bearing.

Uneven wear of the clutch disc, disc chatter, or contamination of the clutch (will not fully engage or disengage).

its a pretty straight forward job.
Always replace the TO bearing, Pilot bearing, and RMS if you have the tranny out.
DEFINITELY get a T5 steel bearing retainer too.
Like JB said, use that clutch alignment tool.
Enjoy!

the pilot bearing the back of the motor might not be as easy as you want it to be. go to autozone and get a pilot bearing puller and slide hammer. they are a bitch.
*also get loctite for the flywheel bolts, alignment tool, torque wrench. . . . .and some beer and thats about it
