Remove driveshaft, unbolt trans from bellhousing and either remove it or move it back far enough that input shaft is all the way out of clutch, remove clutch fork spring, move clutch rod / adjustment rod if necessary, move clutch fork back (towards rear of car) take old out, put new in, reverse step to reassemble.

I don't have an inpection cover on my bellhousing, not sure if there's supposed to be one or not, (really could care less) but you'll probably have to remove it if you have one.

Not really that hard, just a big pain in the ass, might take you a 2-3 hours depending on how fast you work and how careful you are. Trans is heavy... might need to get a jack (with wheels) and a piece of wood to support it - the wheels will help ou move it a little. Unfortunately I think you're gonna find that unless you go and by an actual trans jack - provided you're strong enough - it'll be easier for you if you make sure you have your car up high enough and use your hands to move the trans around. I have a 4 speed - about 80 pounds - and using a jack is more trouble than it's worth.

I really don't think the throw out bearing is your problem, but good luck.
