clutch replacement 04 gt. Advice?

what is the difficulty of replacing the clutch on an 04 GT? Do I have to take the whole tranny out? And anybody got any "shade tree" tech advice? I have an 04 gt with several bolt-ons and 4.10 gears. what would be a good clutch that wont break the bank but has ample clamping force? thanks

SPEC is the way to go... Drop mid pipe, drop drive shaft, pull tranny, replace clutch, resurface flywheel or replace, put back together. Simply put.

what does it usually cost for a clutch for the 04? and if you change it out, about how much does it cost for install? Im sure I should start planning for mine, I have about 50k on the car. that sound about right?

Spec 2 clutch kit runs $334.99 on AM.com. Centerforce clutches are good but run a little more.

Don't the 04 GTs have 26 input spline?

My clutch install cost $1100 I think... Stage 2 SPEC $350, Alum Flywheel SPEC $350, UPR quadrant + firewall adjuster, so about 3-4 hours labor at 60 an hour.
