So it's about time for a new clutch. I believe it's the original one with 140,000 miles on it, and now the truck is difficult to put into first and second gear and it almost wants to stall; I barely saved it today in traffic. I've seen write ups, I've seen videos, but none of them are exactly how to do it from step 1 to the last step. I want to do it myself and save the 500 labor costs, and so I've priced the items in a cart and the total is ~$300. This truck is my daily driver and I rely on it to get to work and back, so is this something that I can really do in a weekend? Start early Saturday, and finish on Sunday? I have no power tools, and no lift so just the bare necessities here lol. Here's the parts list on rock auto, feel free to suggest different parts/manufacturers:
