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

Is this very first second of this video showing the alignment tool in
action? https://youtu.be/NcTmlO9XN1E

It seems to take a split second, but the video is artificially sped up.


Yeah, that's a pretty good video. It just holds the clutch plate in
place and then you pull it out when the pressure plate is snugged down.
The video also illustrates what I meant about working around tightening
the pressure plate screws gradually and in a pattern around the pressure
plate. You'll also want to do the gradual thing when removing it or it
will start to cock and make removing the screws difficult. Once you've
backed them out enough to release the spring pressure all around then
you remove them one by one.
