Doing the clutch today, HELP Options

[ripper911]

So, then. I'll be attempting to change my clutch today, I don't really work on cars very much, so I am going to be asking you people some questions.

First, besides a flywheel lock and the alignment tool, do I need any other special tools?

Someone here suggested using four jackstands to only raise the rear end, how does that sound to the others here and where do the stands go for stabilitys sake.

would putting the front of the car on ramps and the rear on stands to have the whole thing in the air be a good idea? or the other way around...

anything that might be of use is needed from all of you whom are more experienced than myself. I have no clue what I'm doing, but I'll follow the procedures and hope I'm up to it.

I'm about to go buy the parts, and go to my dads house to use his garage/tools.
I'll be posting pics if there is any trouble.

I will have the 914 914/6 handbook, the haynes manual, and the Dr 914 procedure that comes with the kit.

Thanks in advance! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif)

I'd take the transmission back off, loosen the pressure plate bolts and be sure you have the clutch plate properly aligned with the clutch tool inserted all the way. Then retighten the pressure plate bolts, retorque, and the remove the tool. The transmission should line up easily, though you often have to raise the back end up a bit as the natural tendency is to have that end drooping. You can also try twisting the transmission to help align the splines, but it should slide in fairly easily.
