Replacing the clutch

Replacing the clutch
Hi:
I have a 2004 Dodge Dakota with 106,000 miles and aa manual transmission. The clutch is making a lot of loud chatter and occasionally, When I am shifting, when I shift I hear her roar, the shift is hard and I need to double clutch. Sounds like I need a new clutch. I have done a fair bit of work on cars myself but I have never replaced a clutch. How complicated is that on this truck? How accessible is it? I had the oil pan roof replaced a year or so ago and the mechanic said he had to take part of the frame off to get to the oil inaccessible as well?.
Does anybody know a good reference or perhaps video which shows how to replace this clutch?
Thank you

It doesn't necessarily mean that is going to be difficult.
But if you never have done this type of stuff before make sure you have all the tools you need, some knowledge and someone who knows a bit more beside you.
It may be better to take it to a shop, they already have the knowledge and tools and will fix it in a day. But maybe you want to learn how to do it by yourself.
Well its up to you.
But maybe this can be of a little help, if you want to do it on your own.
