Change your own clutch..........
I just PM'd this to mrduke to help him with his weekend coming up, figured it could go in here as well.:
My best time is 1 hr 37 minutes OK, as in Spaceballs, here's the Short, short, short version:
do clutch replacement and FW? if applicable. MAKE SURE THE CLUTCH IS DEAD CENTER....use the alignment tool. Tricks on install: installation is reverse of removal but..... Note orientation on upper 2 MM bolts and 2 studs. use automotive lubricant on input shaft, teeth, and T.O. bearing shaft. hit the steel sleeves on the edge of the bell housing as well, to help it sink when you seat it. you didn't mess with the passenger side on purpose, because now you have a shaft that will help you guide the transmission back home. When you go to put it in, sink that shaft first, then play with the alignment on the input shaft. Careful, it can/will fall back off even if you think you got it on....so thread that 14 mm bolt back in when you can get it to line up to secure the transmission Oh, add fluid, pump clutch a few times first, and check your engagement before you get it down. For those that see better than read: good luck, that is the short, short, short, short, short, version. Fluffernutter

I honestly have forgotten how many of these I have done......as well as engine swaps (best time 7 hrs 10 min start to finish and drive the car away, included WP, TB, TBT, C/FW and VCG install)...................you do enough of them and you get into a rythim, knowing what tool you need enxt before you get to that point, knowing what bolts are next to be removed....ect.....
and .............I don't use impact/pneumatic tools...... all ratchets and pliers, I prefer to feel the pressure/force applied, you loose that with air...

was that motor swap alone or with someone else? The best time my roomate (harvey93gt) and I had was starting around midnight and backing the car out with the new (read: not blown up) motor at around 530-6ish the next morning.

my fastest time is 4 hours. but we had to manually resurface the flywheel in that time with sandpaper. thats part of the 4 hours. someday, i will be like Travis Williams. i did a PGT clutch/flywheel a few days ago, being lazy, took 5.5 hours or so.

awesome write up. I took some pics during my recent clutch job, I'll add them to this post shortly. It took me probably a total of 7-8 hrs working VERY meticulously, yet wasted.
