      Clutch is easy if you can remove the front 2 cross member bolts (that area has a habit of rotting). Call me and I can walk you through it: 717-725-7798
      Trees aren't kind to me...

      currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
      94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

          Should be easy enough. Its one of the easiest vehicles out there to do it on. I changed the clutch on my festiva when i was 16 with almost no knowledge about cars. most important is to use a manual. Print off the link above or if you prefer go buy a haynes manual for $20. I used the haynes. You basically cant screw it up if you follow their step by step instructions with all their pictures

              Good! Read through it before you start, try to figure out what tools you will need beforehand. That makes life easier. You bought a whole clutch kit with a new throw out bearing, pilot bearing and pressure plate rather than just the clutch itself right?
              Dont forget new transmission fluid. You dont have to, but its a good time to change the transmission output shaft seals (cv shaft seals on the trans side). They are cheap and its a huge pain to change them later if they are all you have to do. Its easy while your doing the clutch.
              Have a bunch o brake cleaner or degreaser to clean up everything inside before installing the new clutch. Take pictures as you go in case you forget which way something went back togeather. Organize all your bolts and parts while removing. And take your time, dont be too rushed. Should only be a one day job though.
