difficulty of a msp clutch replacement?

[Acselor]

i need a new clutch and im looking to replace it myself. i have the knowledge and the tools. thats not teh problem. im just wondering how hard it will actually be to do in my driveway. could it be done in a day? by myself and a person with an equal amount of knowledge? we are both mechanics. jacks and jackstands?

thanks,
Jim

It shouldn't be a problem.

a day is good. set aside at least 4 hours.. and liquid wrench is your friend

im jk, im just not that good at working on cars. im sure it would be easier a second time. u should be fine, just set aside a few weeks of hard labor and sweat, tears, blood.

im doing a clutch replacement as well but my engine is out so it will be a blast! My question is, the instructions tell me to put high melting point lube on the splines, do i really need to do this? I want to make sure everything is done right putting it back together so I'm just making sure.

EDIT: Yes you do have to put grease on the splines otherwise your clutch disc will not slide smoothly and may not disengage properly. Putting a clutch on is easy once the tranny is off! Even easier when the engine is out as in my case!
