You can if you have the proper tools and know-
how. Changing a clutch is a big job on a rear-
wheel drive car or truck, and an even tougher
job on a front-wheel drive car or minivan.
On a rear-wheel drive vehicle, the driveshaft,
transmission and bellhousing have to be
removed from underneath the vehicle to get at
the clutch. The clutch can then be unbolted
from the flywheel and replaced. Resurfacing the
flywheel is recommended -- and required if the
flywheel is warped, grooved, badly worn, heat
discolored and/or contaminated with grease or
oil. That means the flywheel has to come out,
too. If the flywheel is cracked, it should be
replaced.
In addition to replacing the clutch, a new throw-
out bearing is also recommended. Considering
the labor involved to tear everything apart, it's
risky to reuse an old throw-out bearing. It may
not be noisy now, but it's hard to tell how many
miles it might have left in it.
The pilot bushing in the end of the crankshaft
that supports the transmission input shaft should
also be inspected. Replacement is recommended
if your vehicle has a lot of miles on it.
Reinstalling the transmission is the most difficult
part of the job because the transmission is
heavy (which means you'll need a floor or
transmission jack, or a pair of strong arms). The
clutch must also be perfectly aligned (with a
pilot tool) so the transmission input shaft will
slip into place, once everything has been bolted
together.
With front-wheel drive, replacing the clutch is
even more difficult because it involves pulling
the engine or dropping the transaxle (both of
which are major undertakings because of all the
disassembly that's involved). For this, you'll
need an engine hoist to pull the engine or a hoist
or beam to support the engine from above while
the transaxle comes out.

Hope you know Plagiarism is a serious offence? The Admin of the forum can be sued for that. Just saying.
