I agree. If your mechanically inclined it's rather easy. It's just that you have to be carefull with the knock sensor and have patience with a couple of the harder to reach bolts.

 

Relatively easy = No

What all should be done at this time = Clutch kit, OEM throwout bearing, resurface flywheel, some say its a good time to put in a new clutch master and slave cylinder. new hose & Full-Race or SOS turbo kit.

 

Everything is relative. I don't mind turning a wrench and quite enjoy the feeling of a job completed, even though it might take me longer to do than an sae mechanic. Having the right tools and good instructions is key to any job. I've heard of folk using just a floor jack to hold the tranny, but I have reservations about that. Is a "tranny jack" really needed? Do you really have to drop the subframe and disconnect the steering? I'll have more time to read the manual in a day or so.

 

Tranny jack!

Funny stuff! Is this where "Tranny jack crew" thing got started?

 

Yes. Need to drop the subframe 3 inches, I disconnected my drifeshaft as well. I locked the steering wheel and unbolted the steering rack (said to do so in a DIY).
Theres quite a bit of stuff to do and remove to get the tranny to come off. Remember to disconnect the fork. If you dont, your transmission isn't coming out.

 

Also, I did this on jack stands and I didn't use a transmission jack. I also bought a Dewalt impact, about 2 and a half foot in extensions, swivel neck for the sockets, craftsmen digital torque wrench and some other handy stuff as well.

 

Looks like the community leech is at it again.

 

Who is that?

 

I think that I have most of the parts now, just a few more to order and a few tools. The more that I read about it, the less intimidating it seems. Just time consuming. I'll probably be starting this in a few weeks.
