Default People in college station, I need a favor...

I just got my car back today with the new transmission. I have the specII clutch and I need to put in the "shim" because its not Disengaging all the way. What im asking is if anyone would be willing to help me install it. Any weekend, I can pay, or bring the beers. I dont want a re-peat of failing synchros so I would like to do this within the next few months. I have weekends off. Ive got a tool set and I can turn a wrench, but no garage or jack stands. If anyone is willing to help out PM me or post up. Thanks for reading, Josh.

Let me know, I would like to see how hard it is to get into the clutch. And I am pretty decent with a wrench, if you need a place todo it I might know a guy. But he is more into mustangs, don't know if he'll like us working on a f body at his place, but I will ask him.
