Default Help Installing a new clutch on my sc300!

Hi Guys. So i went around to a few shops and they were all around $800 with parts and labor. I've found a completes clutch set for $175 online and would rather spend the whole day doing the job myself then paying someone 600-700 to do the job for me. My pops is going to help me with the job as he's done a bunch of them in the past just not on a sc300 or supra for that matter. I was just wondering if anyone has a skematic or layout of instructions on where to begin or a DIY page? thanks guys!

they have a diy on here, just too lazy search. Quick and easy to it... remove shifter assembly inside the car, remove your exhaust system, remove drive shaft start on the rear, loosen the transmission support but put a jack to help lift or lower it to get to the bolts on the bell housing, 2' extension with swivel tip will be your friend for the bell housing bolts on top, and pull transmission out. Replace what you want/need to and slap everything back on.

btw remember to re-service the flywheel if it's needed or replace it.

Check my DIY. It might be there but basic run down

Remove shifter 4 bolts
Remove exhaust
Remove driveshaft
Remove starter
Remove 8(?) bell housing bolts
Drop the transmission
Remove old clutch
Resurface flywheel
New flywheel bolts, or use ARP with red loctite
Stick new clutch with alignment and install everything else.

Jk its not in my DIY.
