Make sure you tighten everything to spec (via the service manual) and you have a good transmission jack.

PATER noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Good luck!

If you have done clutch installs before, you will be fine. Most people on these forums aren't "car-literate" so they freak out when they hear someone is attempting to do a DIY clutch install. I personally like to use an engine hoist rather than a tranny jack but thats just me.
