The two bellhousing bolts at the top of the engine, can be some tough SOBs. The "hidden" starter bolt. There are three bolts, the last one has to be had by feel only. Its not really a difficult job, just time consuming. Make sure to get a new flywheel or have your current one resurfaced. Go ahead and change the throwout bearing and pilot bearing. Before tightening down the pressure plate, make sure the clutch alignment tool is inserted. That way it will save you sometime when the tranny won't slide back into place. [:@]

Make sure you have a Haynes manual on hand. It will give you the step-by-step process for the clutch. Ditto on the alignment tool. No tool = loads of fun for hours!

Best of luck to you

I changed mine not to long ago and had longtubes on their so I had to take one header off..But dont pay someone to do it break into that thing and do it yourself save you time and money and some pride knowing you can change your clutch in the future.
