    Didn't you just do your S50? That sucks. Really not that hard, even on the ground, it's a 6 hour job max.

    Good luck man.

        i wont have the time, but you can look at my writeup when i swapped out my flywheel.

        if you get stuck, i might be able to drive up and help you for an hour, maybe 2, but lately im doing 13+ hour days and all my projects are in need too.

            A clutch job is a clutch job.

            A helpful tip, lower the front subframe and use some wobbly extensions for the top trans bolts. That will save you a lot of time.

                    I see. Well, that's no fun. Good luck man. If I were closer, I'd just run over and knock it out real quick.

                              I have a bunch of airline tickets to use before the end of the year. I get more next year, so these need to go away. If anyone feels like helping this guy out, but is far away... I can hand out a pair of passes on any Alaska/Horizon Air flight. Since I've never done a clutch job either, that's my way of helping out... haha.

                              I haven't had to use these passes as I travel as an employee... but I think you may still have to pay the taxes. Dunno, though. Also, the tickets would be space-available. So if the plane is full, you don't get on. However, this can be worked around as I can check the flight loads in advance.

                              I'd also volunteer to come over and make dumb-ass comments/drink beer while you do your clutch. Your call, ha.
                              (for a second i thought its a scam hahha who gives free stuff these days haha)

                              i started, took exhaust off, and disconnected drive-shaft... but now the hard part... "how to reach to the top bolts" ... will see if cant do much then will probably drop the sub-frame...
