Other then that I havn't replaced the clutch on my 7 yet but should be pretty straightforward if you've replaced a clutch before. Search around for it and you'll dig all kinds of things up on it.

I replaced the clutch on my old Saab and Ford Probe, wasnt all that hard. Did it in one day with the help of my Dad (well, other way around actually, I helped him :P ). I know its not an RX-7, but it shouldnt be too dissimilar, other than the location of the transmission.

 

replace the clutch fork while you are there. its a $20 part that fails often. search on it for more info.
