Sounds good! The clutch replacing should be fairly easy and straight forward, just make sure to follow the torque specs for the pressure plate to flywheel bolts cause they are easy to strip. Then comes the fun part... putting everything back together!

At least with putting everything back together goes twice as fast than taking it apart. Figuring out how everything comes apart is a time killer. Tonight should be luck. All thats left is the tranny and the first half is done.

Yeah, you should be able to! I hear ya on working a little at a time. Especially now that its starting to get dark so much earlier! There have been sometimes that I've felt like I get nothing done in the evening.

well my heater took a crap on me other wise cold isnt stoping me. I have 2 stalls in a 28x38 garage to my self so atleast I am not doing it out side. working second shift and not getting out until after midnight so trying to keep going sucks. Atleast I can find a place like this and someone one willing to take he time to help others. Think of taking some pics and making a how 2 with the info you have givin me. But I think I would rather just get it back together.

There is a bright side, You used it all. Didn't waste a bit of it. I agree with 318 SLT, It usually takes me longer on reassembly. I tend to want to get in a hurry and miss something then end having to take half of it back apart to do it right

Thats one good looking throwout bearing! Like woodbutcher said, at least you don't have to replace one that still works!
