Anything like this I would just pay someone. You can find a shop to do it for a few hundred bucks.

Tdipwr33. Everyone has an opinion, few hundred is a lot of beer, and you miss out on the satisfaction of doing the job yourself. Each to his own.

Its not a hard job, I had my trans out in 90 minutes by myself. Hour to get the new clutch in and torque'd, couple hours to get it all bolted back up. I'd help direct you what to take off next, but you're too far away and Im busy on Saturday lol

I'd love to help as I'm looking to do my own clutch in the near future. I'm busy every weekend into may. The only thing to fear is not being able to drive to work monday morning. If you've got a backup plan, take your time and it will turn out fine.

Scamming behaviour, though he did seem (after a lot of denial) that he was moving toward making amends.

He sold a manifold that was JB-welded and painted black as "pristine", and sold a head as in good shape, which arrived with impact marks on one cylinder and no cam caps. He played off the head as not his fault, as he shipped it from some shop, and never actually laid eyes on it.

The ban hammer fell when he started to get abusinve with members that were calling him out in the vendor accountability thread.
