You have the same setup as My truck other than I have 4:10 gears. I bet your truck moves very well.
I second what Joel said. Keith out is St. James Missouri has his shop built and is a TOP NOTCH wrench and person. You will not find a better man for the job.
If you choose to do the job yourself, I strongly suggest you get the flywheel checked by a machine shop.
See Ya
Happy New Year

If you do decice to do it yourself...
1. GET A GOOD TRANSMISION JACK!!!!!!
2.pull driveline(s)
3. The trick to getting the crossmember out is a BIG pursuasion stick (shorty sledge). Hit the crossmember up first then back. Youll see what I mean when you get there.
4.pull the stick.
5. If it were me Iwould pull the 4 tranny bolts off first ...
6.then pull the tranny out of the way ...
7.then pull the bell housing...
8. then do your clutch work.
9. Install in reverse order.
10. ENJOY!!!
