DIY: Clutch Replacement

Scale of 1-10, how hard? I am not trying to pay the dealership service department 1400 for parts and labor. Anyone know the best place to get a whole new OEM kit for cheap and/or manuals for this type of work?

probably a 5, engine rebuild would be a 10, changing the final drive would be an 8, installing an intake would be a 1-2, installing an exhaust would be a 1.

It will take you at least 8 hours your first time.

Oh, and you need airtools...

Nothing like having everything out of your car to find out you need to go buy a special socket and impact gun.
