i did a clutch intall myself, it was really hard. took about two days. it might help if you remove the radiator for more room to do stuff, but you might not have to cause the engine bay is bigger than my civic. you'll need to put your car on jacks stands and use a floor jack and a plank of wood to support the engine when you get the tranny off. i'd recommend getting the flywheel resurfaced unless you're putting a new one in, and since the flywheel is out maybe get it shaved to reduce weight. and follow the torque specs in the manuels when you put the clutch back in, having the pressure plate torqued down in the proper sequence is important so it won't warp.
