What is your opinion? Buy the parts and install it myself. (I don't know a thing about clutches or trannys.) Or, pay 400 bucks for a shop to do it.

Thanks for the input.

Best bet would be to find a buddy (or willing shop) that you could pay the $400 to (go ahead and eat the cost) but be able to do the assist. If the person you are working with are willing to show you the ropes, then the money is well spent (IMHO)

This way you get the new clutch in, and learned how to do it too.

Thanks for the advise. Since time is really not an option for me, I will be putting in the shop tomorrow morning. They said they should only have it for a day. Then on Saturday, I will take it in for the emmissions test. Hope that turns out OK...LOL.

Well, it's still in the shop today...they had to put another clutch in it as the first one wasn't working out for them. Hopefully, I can pick it up tomorrow morning, but at least they're going the extra mile to make sure it's done right the first time around.

I was going to say you could come do it at my house. While figuring out my t56 I had the thing in and out of the car alot. Just takes alittle bit of coercing...
