I'll be doing mine as well shortly, but not doing it myself ! It sounds like a bastard job (and I've done my own shocks, like 3 times so no fear there...). Too much messing around under the car with the hidden PPF and transmission bolts.

Might have a spare 1.8 flywheel and pressure plate available in the near future if anyone's interested (only slips when >6psi ;)

BTW - Autoclutch gives club discounts

I did mine myself after having had a shop in Auckland do it, charge me for
all new parts then within 2 months or less strange noises. I figure they
reused the old bearing and pressure plate and only fitted a new clutch disk.
I did it by myself , it was a difficult job , I found the worst part was
getting the box to mate up afterwards(when replacing and I do have a clutch
alignment tool). I am not used to the lifting. What I found that made
getting the box in fairly simple and painless was to use a rope through both
drivers doors, under the car and supporting the tail end, with a knot that
was easily undone to allow the loop to be lengthened as I slid the gearbox
back in. I also used a small trolley jack at the front of the gearbox to
keep the weight off the bearings shaft etc. It was not an easy job, the
aluminium power frame, in my car had razor sharp edges, but it was O.K. (Not
as bad as a mk4 zephyr, or 3L capri). As long as you can bear a few scraped
knuckles maybe you should be o.k. I would recomend having an "Enthusiasts
Shop Manual" along side, and basically follow the procedure outlined in
that.

Good luck if you go for it.

P.S. to my last message.
Two people to lift the gearbox/bell housing back in (unless you do a bit of
weightlifting), will make the job a lot easier.
