Horaciosan, it was cougar buttes but it doesn't look like anyone is going?

First clutch, pick up a clutch alignment tool at the auto parts store. It'll make putting it back together easier on you. Also you may want to change out the pilot bearing in the back of the crankshaft. They can be a pain to get out but it's worth doing it.

As long as you have the right tools, a good trans jack it won't be bad. Just take your time and adjust your jack to hold the trans, and transfer case secure.

Another tip, make sure your local auto parts store can turn the flywheel (resurface it) the day you pull it out. You may have to find a machine shop to resurface it?
