A bummer for us old guys, a piece of cake for you younger guys. Before you install it, take a look at Summit or another reputable parts house and price the billet aluminum pivot and cable attachment on the clutch pedal. This replaces the stock plastic. You'll also find a super easy "firewall" adjuster, which allows you to adjust the clutch from under the hood. I don't have any pics, but these come with pretty detailed instructions. You'll be happy you spent the extra bucks. Good luck.

If youre keeping everything stock you need to get creative with washers to adjust it. As for the job itself its pretty straight foward and easy enough for 1 person to do with no help.
