Default Clutch

How difficult is it to replace the clutch in an 05 Neon SXT? I've done it in other front wheel drive cars, but never in a Neon. You guys seem to be the experts.

Thanks for your help
Chris

I burned my stock clutch out in 5 months (28,000 miles)... I'm sure the 12+ auto-x runs and 60+ 1/4 mile runs while power shifting didn't help.

What is required to replace the clutch other then removing the clutch itself, do you need to drop the motor or tranny or both? I've never done a clutch job before, just curious.
