If you didn´t install it yet, make sure you replace the pilot bearing. Costs 7 or 8 bucks.
My New Clutch...

wow they even gave you the throw out bearing for it. I didn´t think clutch kits came with them...
How hard is it to replace a clutch? I´ve never taken apart an engine, and I know how to in a textbook sense, but to actually take it apart...
how long? how difficult?
how long? how difficult?
the first time it takes forever. about a day or three in my case, lol. The next one I did was alot easier. :-?

You don´t actually have to take apart the engine itself. The easiest way to do it is disconnect the tranny from the engine and pull it (the transmission) out of the car to get to the pressure plate/clutch and replace it that way. The time it takes depends on your experience with it.

My 94 gt took me about 5 hours to replace the clutch. It is actually not that difficult if you think through it and look at what all needs to happen first. The first time I did a front wheel drive clutch took me a day now it is easier.
