Default DIY Clutch Replacement

Hello all,
I am writing to see if anyone in the Chicagoland area has any experience doing clutch swaps on the S and is willing to help me with the job.
I am considering taking it to one of the local shops to have them do it for me but I am a DIYer and like to do the work myself so I can know what goes into my car but feel like this job may be too much for me.
Let me know if you are willing to help me, I can compensate you for your time with food, beer, money, sexual favors, you name it. lol.
Cheers, Rafal.

Did you say sexual favors???????? I have a s2k owner who just did his clutch let me see if he is willing to get down and dirty once again............... He said it depends on your garage setup and location.

Thank you all for the replies, I pulled a muscle in my neck so I have to rest if off for a while so no manual labor. I ended up calling one six to do it for me since I already spent half a day working on it and just got the damn starter bolt loose, loosened the header and started on the drive shaft before getting too frustrated and calling it a day.

Thank you for the offer. I agree, this is definitely a two day job if not more if I'm DIYing it.

Hey Dustin, wish I would've seen this before I made an appointment with one six. Thanks again for the valve cover mod, it's a massive improvement.

Between my AP1 and my AP2 I've done four clutch jobs and 6 transmission swaps. I just don't see it as being a tough project.

Indeed I am, car hasn't shifted so smooth in a long time lol. Still don't know how they got the tranny off without lowering the subframe for the top two bell housing bolts.

You sir have a lot more patience and knowledge than I do, probably a better tool set too. I was fed up after half a day working on it.
In the end, I'm just glad to have it running smooth so I can get it ready for the next track day beating.
