Clutch time

Seems a little early at 96k miles(155k canadian), but the clutch is now slipping alot, so I guess its that time.

I will be doing it myself, I am very mechanically inclined and I have ALLDATA, so I should be able to get through it. I sure as hell am not paying shop rates on an 8 hour job plus parts. The cheapest I can find is $340 for the clutch, who knows what a shop would mark it up to. But I figure I can save a grand by doing it in the driveway.

Any tips from guys who have done this? Handy little shortcuts that aren't in the book lol.

May want to consider a better clutch, like the KY clutch kits we carry. Hold better than stock.
