i just did my clutch right now by MYSELF. so much work to do and it probably took about 30 hours and would've been less if i known that the tranny i got would fit my car but doesnt so i had to use the originall tranny.

i have a little bit to do 2morrow like finishing hooking up the intake, battery, battery tray and speed sensor.
some tips for ppl that'll do their own clutch
-invest in a motorcycle/ATV jack or if you have the dough...get a floor tranny lift. because there is no way you can line the tranny up by physically forcing it up there yourself unless you have 3 guys with tons of stamina. by myseld, it took a couple hours with the jack. BTW the jack was only 50 bucks
-jacking the car up really high is not nessesary, maybe 16 inches will be fine. you can pull the tranny out the passenger's side wheel well
-the flywheel bolts were the hardest for me to remove
-for the cb7, taking off the downpipe and axle nuts is not required
-take breaks! i worked 8 hours today w/o taking a brake nor eating so im extremely fatigue
-air tool s are helpful but i didnt need them so yay.
-double check everything! because my clutch kit came with a pilot bearing but i couldnt find where to put it so i didnt put it on h:

thats about it.
