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

When the clutch on my Ranger needed replacement I paid my brother's
shop to do the job even though I'd done hundreds of clutch
replacements in my younger years. At 60 I wasn't going to roll around
under the truck on a creaper to replace it.


My '91 Regal was a PITA to change oil. Did it twice. For the few bucks
saved, that was the last time I crawled under a car.


I'm one of those weird people that looks under the hood when buying
cars. Drain plug? Check. Oil filter? Check. Ignition wiring? Check. Of
course the Toyota doesn't have a distributor of plug wires so that was a
real easy one. I can reach in with a 10mm socket to pull the drain plug
and unscrew the filter from the top.
