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

The good news is that this is a 2WD Toyota so the transmission "looks"
accessible to me to a jack.

Wrong picture.

This picture shows the transmission.

There is some kind of "mount" at the rear (right in the picture).
Since this is the 2WD, it looks kind of roomy down there.

I noticed the $100 transmission jack had a "5 degree forward tilt".

Do you have any idea how much forward/backward tilt is usually needed?

A WHOLE lot more than 5 degrees - generally at least 15. Most good
trans jacks give you at least 20, and in both directions. For the Yota
you only NEED it to tip the one way.
