clutch install on lnf

Has anyone installed their own clutch into the lnf platform? If so, how much difficulty rating would you give it. I have a local shop who will do it for 400.00, but im wondering how dificult it would be on my own. It would slip here and there before, but now that i put the e85 tune on, i want to go ahead and get a jump on putting it in.

For $400, I would effing JUMP on it!

It's in the books as 8.0-10.0 hours, and at anywhere from $65-$85/hr for labor, $400 is a STEAL.

Im in the middle of changing my clutch and tanny. Im just waiting on the parts .i had it all out within an 1hr its not to hard after removing the wheels axle nuts and lower contral arms the axles came right out. How ever i droped my front frame wich was only like 6 bolts. Unbolted the steering wrack , unbolted the tranny bolts , mounts and the tranny comes right out. Thats all that was done on the botton side and on the top side. I just took out the ecu moved some wire connectors unbolted the fuse /relay box and undid the clutch line. Theres not much to it just have u and a friend do it on one weeknd night. tranny is probably about 70 to 80lbs
