Default I'm tryin to get high...suggestions...

Ok so I'm looking to replace my clutch next week and I don't know anyone with any type of lift to get the car high enough to make it easier. How do you guys set the car up or how would you suggest. Thanks guys.

Randy

are u afraid of laying on the ground or something? why do u need a lift? just use jackstands to raise the car up, lay under it and nublot the tranny, and bend press it down, i mean f*ck it's only 75 lbs.
