Default Clutch Install Help/Advice...

I dont know the slightest thing about installing a clutch or transmissions for that matter. I know alot about building a motor but nothing about a tranny. I was planning on dropping the motor and doing some work but I also have a stage 2 clutch sitting around that needs to be installed. Questions as followed:

1) Should I leave it to the professionals? or attempt it?
2) Are there any write-ups?
3) Any helpful tips or suggestions?
4) Just tell me what you think!

Thanks for the help and dont feel bad telling me (leave it to the perfessionals).

I wouldn't, not very hard at all. If you can drop a motor you for sure can change a clutch. Just go to pep boys and buy a manual on your car if ou dont know anything about it.

I've never done it before, so I am doing it now. Started last weekend and was thwarted by rain. It's not such a big deal.

Pull the tranny with the motor and do it then. Should make your life easier.
