I have really been putting off buying a spec clutch because I have no idea how to do it. I basically need a walk through of everything after opening the hood.

A shop did mine in 2 hours and I have the spec... So far so good and they charged me $400 for putting it in and that was the cheapest in town

yeah, i understand it's a long process but i'm willing to do it myself. i have this thing about wanting to be able to say I have done everything myself on my car. plus I have a lot of great friends that like to lend me a hand. I have a second car so I can afford some down time on my ss.
thanks man this will help

it's really not much of a challenge, just a long project make it a weekend thing. I got mine done in 4 or 5 hours in the driveway but nothing went wrong. always leave that sunday open just in case lol 
btw valuable tipthey forgot to include: when re-installing an axle to a half shaft (intermediate shaft) or transmission depending on which axle, slide it like a slide hammer banging the cv joint together to pop the splines in past the retaining ring.
