Default How hard is it to replace a clutch in a 5-speed manual transmission?

This is good to know that the RWD (2wd) is easier than the rest, which has
been my experience for most things, if not only because there is fewer
stuff but the same amount of room, so more room in essence.

You will need a set of good metric sockets and wrenches and
preferanly a hoist. Changing tansmissions on your back under a vehicle
is a PAIN.


I have 6-ton jack stands which give me a decent amount of room, but no
hoist. I don't have a transmission jack so I would expect to need one.


Advance Auto has a tool loan program. You pay for the cost of the tool
and I think you can keep it 30 day, anyway it's a long period. When
you bring it back, you get the full amount back, it's free. If they
have the tool you need, it's a great thing for those ones that you
only need once in a blue moon. Harbor Freight can be good too for that
kind of thing. Auto Zone might have a loaner thing too, I don't
remember.
