i did it by myself the first time and it wasnt that hard. i also dropped teh k-frame which makes it A LOT easier to do.
have you done any major repairs or service on cars before?

That a good looking engine bay. The valve cover and the heat shield look sick. The strut tower bar is also a nice touch.
Did you wrap your induction pipe with exhaust wrap?
Anytime I get a bunch of my friends together like that, we end up getting drunk and nothing gets accomplished.

2 weeks after we pulled my tranny coz of the broken clip...I broke it again on friday at the track I was racing in our local 1/8th mile when I shifted to 2nd gear my clutch pedal stayed on the floor
So we pulled the tranny off Sunday.(8hr job on my garage) Thanks to Barry and Jon once again!!! not to mention it was Barry's bday party that day in my house
This time we put an ACT clip (set) and 5 ACT wavy springs
We even compared it from the Exedy and it seems like the ACT set is much better and stiffer springs!
I've been granny shifting since monday .....
my 1st clip(exedy) the broke 3 weeks ago

simple solution= buy push style clutch. The problem with the clutch is not fixed by adding more washers. As long as the spring is put in properly to begin with. It is a problem with pushing the pressure plate spring too far. You will fix the problem with this style clutch with a clutch stop. I know the feeling I pulled clutches out left and right trying to figure out the problem.

I love my Exedy twin...it never slips it grabs like a **** once you released the pedal. its just the stinking clip that keeps breaking.
The 1st clip was there for 20k miles then the 2nd one is from friends OEM with 38K miles.

With the right tools and good instructions I'm sure I can do it. It's the good instructions I'm not sure about. I don't like to just "dive-into" big jobs like that. My Evo is my daily driver, so I can't afford to take it apart, then not get it back together.
