Oh, what fun!!
So I am looking at droping the tranny to change the throw out bearing, because I think it is the source of my sqeeking/ticking noise. The clutch is not that old I just think that the guy who owned the car before me didn't replace the TOB when he changed the clutch to a king cobra. I have never done it before, so I am just wondering what I am in for. I have the haynes manuel, which seems to cover it pretty well. I have a couple of questions tho:
Will I need any specialty tools (I am already planning on picking up a torque wrench)?
Should I also replace the pilot bearing?
Anything else I should know?
Thanks for you help!

You will need an assortment of extentions, tranny fluid, a jack with a piece of wood (if you dont have a tranny jack) and a friend to help you hold the tranny stable. If you change out the pilot bearing you will need a special tool to pull it out of the crank.

I know I should have a torque wrench but is it really neccesary for this job?

A swivel socket and a variety of extensions are really helpful for getting at the trans bolts and the h pipe bolts. When we were changing my clutch, we just disconected the h from the catback and pulled the trans back and let it sit on the h. We were using a lift so it was a lot easier, but it wasnt too bad anyway.
