Can i install a clutch? Or shuld i take it to a garage?
I have a compressor, tools aren't a problem. I could buy an engine lift. I wouldn't pay for the installation, and i could install an aftermarket clutch. But could i do it, or should i take it to a garage. "Other guys touching her manifold..." (King Of The Hill)

Do it yourself IMO. You won't need an engine lift, and the transmission doesn't even need to come all the way out of the car.
You'll be better off to have a friend there that's done a clutch before, but it's pretty easy to figure out even if you haven't done it before.

+1 on that. So much cheaper to do it ur self. And it will give u apeice of mind, well it gives me a peice of mind when I do my own work. On top of that it's easy to do. Just make sure u get ur fly wheel resurfaced.
You will need some basic tool and an impact gun. I use a couple of jacks and a 250 peice socket set. I have an electric impact that works great for them flywheel bols, also you are going to want to replace them bolts as well. You can pick them up at the dealer for under 20 bucks.
Grab some redline mt90 as well. That's all I cam think of now. U also want to check out the tq specs as well. They should be on hmaservice.

Just some car jacks, mt90 is gear oil. I use my regular sockets but u take a chance on breaking them.
I use my Craftsman sockets cool.gif Gotta love unconditional lifetime warranties.
