Clutch install

I've been trying to put off buying a clutch for a little while now and it's beginning to slip very bad. I have everything picked out but I havent bought it yet. What I wanted to know is how hard it is to install a new clutch/flyweel and how long it would take. Or should I just take it to a shop and let them install it. If I decide to install it are there any directions on any sites that take you through it step by step or am I on my own??

AWD eh... FWD it would be a snap, but for AWD you'd have to take out the rear end. If you're dedicated, it could take most of the day. If you're no familiar, I don't suggest it because of all the driveshaft BS you're going to have to deal with. I paid $150 for a clutch install on my rotary, so it wasn't that much of a loss at all. We worked on a FWD DSM in the shop and it was pretty straight forward.

Only $150? Damn, that's cheap as hell. Every shop around here wants to charge at least $250 just to drop the tranny. Then the labor chargers and any other parts they need and such. Damn, do mine, yeah?

if your from the philly area, ill help you put it in for free ...wheather or not its awd or fwd it takes me like 3 hours to get a clutch in and together so give me a shout if your in the area of berks county, [email protected]

You might be thinking of a different awd setup, on the dsm's the only difference betweeen fwd and awd is that you have to take the transfer case off.

Yeah you just need to drop the tranny out...you dont need to take the whole rear end off....if you are decently technically inclined I would say you could probably do it yourself if you have a way of getting the tranny out without breaking your face when you drop it out...such as and engine hoist or tranny jack....but it is pretty time consuming...
