Clutch and O2 replacement
Since the parts are here, I am about to repair the car soon. But as always, it's better to ask first before you jump in.
Is the clutch and O2 sensor replacement on '95 GT straightforward, or does it require extra caution.
Are there any common problems I could run into, like clutch drag, cable adjustment issues?

pretty straight forward on the clutch too.
Tips would be; don't let it crush your face, put everything back the way you found it, make sure the clutch is facing the right way, it is probably marked. Also, grease up the shaft the throwout bearing slides on with anti-seize. You want to use that on the threads of the 02 sensors too.

if you still have the OEM clutch quadrant, there is a step that nobody here will inform you of, because most people dont pay close enough attention to notice that its an issue.
The factory quadrant is self adjustable, and when you take the tension off the clutch cable, it will adjust to the end of its range. At the end of your install, you need to put your toe unde the end of the pedal and pull up. you might hear a click... pump the pedal a few times and do it again. If you hear no click, you are adjusted properly.
One issue you may run into is getting the transmission fully seated against the engine.
Most people will try to crank the bolts down and close the gap... dont ever do that.... ever!
Once you get the clutch in place and aligned with the proper tool, and slide the transmission in, have someone press on the clutch pedal. this will release the disc and allow you to get the end of the input shaft up into the pilot bearing.
just remember... if you have to force it... you are probably doing something wrong
