do plenty of searching in the DIY section, there is lots of helpful stuff in there, I downloading and print heaps off before I did my first clutch, very useful, theres a couple of tricks you'll need to know, its all in there..

have about 20 x 1/2 inch or 3/8 extensions

The best tip I can give is that the top two bolts are best removed with a couple of extensions up the back of the gear box. There a pain but if you use the extensions there alot easier. Think it is covered in the DIY anyway, which as said will be extremely helpful. Should be in the DIY/Tutorials section

that should see you right.. get your self a set of rachet ring spanners they will come in very handy working on these cars, especially the starter motor bolts, can't remember what size but they are a bitch

good luck

I've done clutches on about half a dozen cars and I found my R33 to be the easiest of the bunch. I had a mate helping who is a mechanic and he's done about a million cluthces. He also said it was the easiest he's ever done.

Bolts are easy to get to, exhaust easy to get out the way, stick comes out easy and box falls away easy.

There's nothing at all special about done a 33 clutch.
