go www.installuniversity.com and follow there guide for the clutch replacment. Its a different clutch but the same stuff still applies.
When removing the tranny
Make sure you remove the tranny from the Bell housing first. Then Remove the bell housing from the engine.
Other wise you scratch up the underside of the car and its a Pain in the ****.
Don't forget to remove your Hydraulic Line before you drop the tranny. the only way you can get a new Line is to buy a whole new master.
If you don't want to change your tranny fluid . Disconnect the drive shaft from the Rear end and wire the yoke in to your tranny so it don't fall out.
If you use a tranny Jack , you should be able to just slide and lower the tranny back enough to give you room to install a new clutch.
Have a Torque Wrench.
Good luck. I do them in about 2 and half hours.

I didn't , But I only had 20 k on the car when the Clutch was swapped.
Its probably a good Idea though
They are cheep enough.
But when you Get one , ask them which end goes in the Crank

Got the clutch in FRI installed it that night took about 4HRs not to bad but i had to pull most of my turbo exhaust off which was a PITA but damn does it drive differant. I have to basicly relearn how to drive the car, Very grabby but i love it the car lunges after each shift like it should. TTP is a great company to do business with.
