If it's your first time messing with gears, DO NOT DO IT YOURSELF. Expecially if it's your only ride or daily driver. Watch someone experienced if you want to learn or pay someone to do install yours and watch them very closely. Ask any question that comes to mind (no matter how obsurd you might come across). After all, you are learning and should ask dumb questions. If you don't ask something dumb now, you will be doing something dumb later.

I agree, do not do it yourself. I pay $135 for labor everytime I need some gears changed.

but what you guys don't understand he wrenches on cars for a living...just that he hasn't come across a task like this. I think that it would be a good learning experience for him.

BTW frank, did you get the number from marias sister (the little sisters number)?
