Thanks alot man... seems kinda hard but i think i could do it.. :excited:
Yeah man in the end its just nuts and bolts, thats the foundation to working on any car.
You have the write up, tools (you need to have all at least the basics, you can run to the store for special/misc), and some buddies (I usually bribe them with they're fav beer and pizza, plus they are always down to help out too)
Lastly, remember that if it was installed it can be taken apart, and vice versa. (I get overwhelmed sometimes, but it ends up working out)
Ive done 4 Cobra Transmission Removals, 4 Installs, Pulled a Cobra Motor/Rear End, Pulled countless Honda Motors, Swapped them out, Pulled a Corvette Z06's Transmission/Rear End/Torque Tube......all on my back with no lift, mediocre tools, friends, and a strong will.

bud a clutch done incorrectly will really ruin your day and coast more than the extra cash your trying to save...Like Kerr said give Bluflame a holla and see wht he could do for ya. He has done 100's of them and know the knee-yawn very well :)

Take that one bolt out and go to O'Reilly,Autozone,Home Depo or Lowe's and get two more.That bolt isn't that special.Should be a 10x1.25 thread with a 15mm head or something like that. It's common though. Make sure the aluminum threads aren't stripped also.

Thanks a lot bro! I was worried I wasn't gonna find that bolt cuz they told me at o'reillys that I had to get it at a dealer. So I called the dealer and said only the dealership in conroe had it so I was like wtf! But thanks now I know

No prob. O'Reilly and Autozone started stocking grade 8 bolts now and finding that one shouldn't be a problem. If you want to use a dealer though, why couldn't you just have your local dealer order it in? Should only take a day...
