I remember seeing clutch install instructions posted on a website...anyone happen to have a link handy? Searching forum...you can only imagine the number of responses on "clutch"

Thanks!

word of advice, I do everything on my C5, but the clutch and engine removal. as near as I can figure it this is a bitch without a lift.

Dopes install guide is the best that you can find. Definately e-mail him to get it. IMO, this install is easier than one would think. Did mine in the garage on stands also.

That depends entirely on the skill of the user and the tools available.

Easily 2 days though if it's your first time.

I've sent emails to the 2 gentlemen who requested them.

I think you need 2 people when reinstalling the torque tube, trans, and diff. Not saying it cant be done, but it would be a major PITA. Just offer your neighbor plenty of beer.

Did mine on jackstands too. You will need 2 floor jacks, 1 with a transmission plate / adapter. Only help I had was my 12 year old crew chief. He is good, though.....

Allow a weekend to move through it carefully and leisurely as a first timer.

I recommend an LS7 clutch / flywheel, a 2004 Z06 throwout bearing assy, pilot bearing and remote bleeder from LAPD...
