    I just picked up a 97 L wagon and I'm pretty sure the clutch is starting to slip on me. I was wondering...how hard is it to do a clutch (imma Honduh guy, so only FWD experience for me)? And by chance, does anyone do clutch jobs on here that I could pay? I would love to learn, but I just don't have the time right now (college/work/the gf) and it's my only car to drive. Thanks!

    i have seen a few people do clutches on the 5spds. mainly Fuji. it doesn't appear to hard but then again looks are deceiving lol.

    there are plenty of people on here who can do clutches. just a few of them are Bikerboy, LegacyPGT, Fuji_K, Driftin240, ect.....

    I'd say 4/10 if you have the right tools, lift, manual/internet time consuming though

    If I was feelin froggy and had an engine hoist I could have that motor out in an hour and a half. There's less BS with a nonturbo car so it goes pretty quick.

    I've got a universal clutch alignment tool if you need.
