Can't do it yourself? It's not bad, just time consuming. I've pulled the tranny 4 times. Once for clutch, once for a pilot bearing, and twice for slave cylinder (different vehicle the second time). It gets faster everytime I've done it.

If not, then take it to a shop that is familiar with F-body's and guarantees their work. Check MTI and the other local shops that have handled many F-body's and know the work involved.

Yea installing it yourself isnt bad, but keep in mind it will void the warranty. Its not fun buying another clutch even if its the manufacturers fault.
