Hey all....I just wanted to know how difficult it is to change the clutch out to an aftermarket. Would it be better to have a professional shop do the labor or would I be able to do it myself? If it helps I have a Competition Clutch Stage 4. I don't have a lift but i do have jack stands and a floor jack. Any input on this is extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Rear engine mount it's a pain in the @$$

 

should take you between 3 & 6 hours depending on what tools you have and whether you have access to a lift. It will be a bit of work, but not any worse than other FWD's out there. This one actually has some room to work around. The books on my saturn say you have to pull the engine and tranny together to swap it and I managed to swap the clutch in 4 hours or so without even pulling the tranny all the way out.. so this one shouldnt be too bad for you. Others that have done it have stated between 4 - 6 hours.

 

Has anybody changed their own clutch on these beasts w/o a lift???

Hard, but I imagined someone has.
