RE: throw out bearing

A TO is not hard to do if you have a lift and a tranny jack. Doing it on the floor of your garage with jackstands sucks. You're going to need to remove your H/X-pipe first, then you'll need to remove the driveshaft, THEN the tranny. Sounds easy but trying to get the clearance you need with floor jacks is difficult at best.

+1 Back when I was going through trannys, all I had was floor jack and stands and hand tools, I could have it out and be rebuilding it when the trannyit was still warm. Some of us aint lucky enough to have a lift.

RE: throw out bearing
just a note that i thought i would throw out there... if u go to long (couple months) u run the risk of damaging the bearing retainer (the shaft that the throwout bearing rides on) and this will cause a lot of resistance when releasing the clutch
