SBDD clutch install, how difficult to do alone?????
Never dealt with this type of trans or clutch and just wondering how long it will take in my driveway and if there are any tips for getting it done easier. If I can get it in and get some break in miles on it before friday I can make some track passes with it......

i cant say i put a dual disk in but when i put my clutch in i just took it all apart peice by piece. i took off the transfer case then the trans then the bell housing, just because of thier all pretty heavy.

Holding up both discs and the center plate then getting the pressure plate up there is kinda a 2 person job. Other than I think I could do most of it by myself. (mines 2 wheel drive) When you reinstall it put the bellhousing back on the transmission and then stab it in the discs. This made it 10 times easier for me. And make sure you get the discs lined up. The plastic tool works ok but make super sure it slides easily and its not crooked. You will get it in one disc then it won't go any further. I used my old input shaft to align it and it worked way better but not every one has one just laying around. Fist time was with plastic tool and with the bellhousing on the engine. Took about 3 hours of wiggling and banging and cursing to get it in. Second time I used the old input shaft to line it up and put the bell housing on the transmission and it went together the first try. Maybe I just got really lucky. Good luck!
