Doing a clutch job

[Mikeorock]

Anyone have any advice on doing a clutch job??? It will be my first time doing one and I'll be doing it in a drive way on stands. I've been reading up on it. It doesn't seem too bad...
I've been having a rattling noise in my clutch. I think it was the throw out bearing... The other day I took off hard it first gear and popped the clutch.. Now I can't put it into gear while idling.. When the car is off it goes into gear no problem...
So I'm hoping I don't have to change the clutch.. Maybe a collapsed thro out bearing or damaged pressure plate..
Hopefully after I do this my rattling sound will finally be solved...
Thanks in advance.

This may help a little. Others have said it's similar to the 8th si swap. A few people have had the rattle, and they had broken springs on their clutch. This thread has a multitude of people talking about noises/clutch replacements etc

Ok thanks.. I really think my throw out bearing making noise the whole time and now it's collapsed or something because I can't take it out of gears.
I just wonder how hard the job really is... Everyone says the k rame is hard but how hard can it really be
