To put the clutch back in, a clutch alignment tool is neeeded, or in my case I made one out of a peice of copper pipe and a 10mm socket.

don't forget to take the shifter out..Up top..Inside the car..I used a 3 ton floor jack to manuever my Transmission out and in again.It is Not easy doing it yourself.(just one set of hands)..to RE and Re that is .but to take it off ..you are lookin at Sockets/rachet,and the Odd wrench(Disconnect the wires on the trans too..they are hidden on the top of the tail stock).If you decide to do the Pilot bearing(read up on this I'm lazy!)..make sure you get a Good Pilot bearing Puller(loan a tool)..otherwise you are in for a night of Cursing!..Good luck.

i blew my clutch 2 nights ago, pulled the mission this morning, used socket set, spanners, axle stands, trolley jack, pry bar.

jacked the rear up and undid the driveshaft bolts, then jacked up the front an dropped the mission onto my chest then rolled it over to the ground. went easier than i expected.

getting it out is easy... getting it in is a pain in the ***... make sure you keep the engine jacked back as far as you can.
