Default Clutch Installation?

How difficult is installing a new clutch in a 99 GT? Is it something that can be done yourself? How much would a shop charge to do it?

getting the tranny out and back in is a major PITA from planet mutherfvkker. I've done it like 5 times and it's always a bitch and a half getting the tranny back in, and that's using a tranny jack and a lift. Have a couple friends to help you at minimum.

I'd pay the 200 bucks in shop time. They'll probably resurface your flywheel for you too.

250 isn't bad considering all that you have to drop to do it,underneath and including interior parts. It can be a pain in the A$$ putting it back onto the motor and you can't force it on. i've always done it myself but if you don't have the lift, tools, friends, and time, then i would let someone else do it.

Turns out buying from a dealer has advantages. My clutch was covered under warranty.
