Take out the tranny. Remove the old clutch and pressure plate, clean up the bellhousing. The rest is like any other car.

Replace the throw out bearing and pilot bearing, inspect flywheel for cracks/ warpage, etc. Grease the splines on the input shaft a little so the clutch slides nice nice. Put a bit of grease on the pilot bearing before you install, just a tiny bit.Re-install. Enjoy the new clutch, and break it in properly!!
