Message	It's not a bad job, it just seems intimidating. Like others have said, its really good to have a helper and jack with pulling and installing trans. Just take your time, stay organized, and have torque info for your bolts. In the end, you'll feel badass that you changed your own clutch. the only way to be in control, is to be out of control
