Message	Its really easy and not too much can go wrong. If things dont line up then they wont go back together. If you manage to put it back together than you most likely did it right... Go to store an buy the clutch kit with alignment tool and pilot bearing. Then buy a basic metric tool kit with a 3ft extention and 17mm for driveshaft. Also youll need a 14mm wrench. Get yourself a hollow pole to use for the hard bolts.(put wratchet inside he pole for more power). Jack stands and a jack. Ive done them on ground with a scissor jack under the tranny. Exhaust, heat shield, driveshaft, shifter linkage from bottom, unplug some clips, power wire on starter, tranny mount so it slops downward and use 3ft extention with swivel for tranny bolts, unbolt slave cyl and tuck aside, leave start on trans, then seperate tranny from motor. You live in cali with hot weather just take breaks when needed... i did my first 5spd swap in parents driveway on broken cement in puddle of water cause rained whole week(my luck) with just a write up on here. Its not hard and save you money. HUGE learning experience and when it comes time to do your timing belt you may feel more comfortable doing it yourself. Actually a clutch job is great job to learn on.
