Default KING COBRA CLUTCH

I think my throwout bearing is starting to take a poop....it squeeks everytime I push in the clutch....so I want to just replace the bearing and clutch. Is the king cobra clutch from AmericanMuscle.com a great clutch or should I go with a spec? any suggestions? thanks

Is it hard to install a new clutch and T/O bearing in the drivway with only jack stand and tools(and what tool will I need...are there any special tools?)......how much time should I set aside?

i've never changed one in a driveway, but my dad did on his 97 GT, and it took him a looooooooooooooooong time, and made it 10 times harder than it would be to just get it up on a lift.

I did my 92z-28 on my back in the garage. The hardest part is getting the car up high enough so you can get the tranny out from under neath it! I took it off on my chest and rolled out from under it. That wasn't so bad, but when I had to get back under it to get it back up in, that was friggin hard. They weigh a good 2oo+lbs.

If you have never done a clutch before you better set aside a whole weekend. Once you do it though you can do it in about one day working casually w/car on jack stands.
