dude it's not hard. get your car on jackstands, remove driveshaft and unbolt transmission from transmission crossmember deally, all sensors and switches from top of tranny, and the five or six bellhousing bolts. it'll pop right out.

I wrote a very detailed write up on here a few months ago, do a search for my name and clutch and pressure plate replacement.

Whoa...............are you new to the rotary scene.

Yo freddy do it by yourself with a few freinds. Use the manuals and you wil be okay. I did it dolo and first time took a while second time much quicker and now its a quicker job than i would of imagine.

Getting it on takes a lil longer but besides that its not bad.

Save time and $$$ do it yourself. Your reward is mechanic experience kid

LOL I just saw a car I was told was put together by them. Had a big T&R sticker in the window. I hope everything they do doesn't look like this. Poor kid paid almost 20gs for this car. Red 93 with a T78 kit. Downpipe rubbing on lower intake manifold because it wasn't dinged to clear the acv passage or the lower intake grinded down. Heat wrap soaked in oil and dragging on the ground about to cause a fire. Looked like the trans harness fell on the downpipe and melted at some point because I saw all butt connectors behind there in an attempted repair job. No vacuum source run to the oil injectors. Oil pan leaking (common so I forgive this one) driver's side of the motor soaked in oil. Pcv valve and hose removed and nipple on the oil filler neck left open causing oil to spew out all over. Air conditioning lines beng, broke, and mangled from a sloppy front mount intercooler install. Blow off valve mounted on the greddy elbow and hitting the driver's shock tower every time the motor torques. Someone even grinded down the adjustment bolt on the bov to try to make more room. Partially melted brake booster hose, probably from someone carelessly soldering above it. Emissions hose used for the thermostat cover to bottom of radiator hose. It was split from the heat and about to break. Tockico shocks in rear, KYBs in the front??? The list goes on but thats all I remember. I should have taken pictures. I'm going to spend alot fo time sorting this one out.
