So, I'm contemplating a clutch replacement. M47 II 89 245..... On a scale of 1-10, my skill level is somewhere around 7. Give or take... I would like to know what I'm in store for, as I've never done one before, but that hasn't stopped me in the past. Usually, I'm pretty successful tho.

I've got 2 jacks. One is a 1.5 ton, and the other's a 3 ton. Also 2 jackstands, not 4... But, do I need to rent a transmission jack? The one with the wheels? I've heard it's no problem getting it down, but to put it back in, you really need one of these.

Also, as far as parts go, I've heard you need:

-Sachs kit, with the pressure plate, clutch disk, and the release bearing.
-Alignment tool
-Pilot bearing (does OEM matter?)

What about a rear crankshaft seal? Also, I have a motor mount (Febi) that I would assume be the proper time to replace as well. Is there anything else worth mentioning? Or tools that I need? Am I foolish to assume that I can do this job?... I'll probably have 1 or 2 other people helping/heckling as well.

But, there's a guy my friend knows willing to replace the whole thing for 300 bucks, not including parts.

Not sure if he's going to do a good job or not, but if I supply the parts (All of them) is this a fair deal?.... I'm just trying to save my buddy some money, but I also want him to have a car to drive.... Cheapest way would by DIY but what does anyone else think?
