No problem. I replaced my clutch a couple of months ago. Twice. The first SACHS OEM kit had a bad pressure plate that wouldn't lift completely. Couldn't shift.

Second one was fine. Practice makes perfect. The first trans removal took several hours. The second only 1.5 hours.

I'd be glad to run down the process with you, just shoot me an email. Here's a quick tip. If you're not replacing the slave cylinder, don't pull the hose off of it. Remove the circlip holding it in place on the bellhousing and slide the whole thing out. Tie it up to the radius arm or caliper and you won't have to bleed the system when you put it back. Just make sure the reservoir is full before you start.
