How hard to replace clutch?

From what Ive been told it sounds like the springs in my clutch are broken. My question is how hard is it to replace a clutch? Would I be able to do it? I don't have access to a lift but I do have ramps and jacks and lots of tools. I have done some advanced engine work before like changing valve seals/springs/rockers/plugs/wires/water pump etc...

I am just afraid of taking it all apart, doing it and then putting it back together to find out somethign is wrong and have to do it all over again. This would be my first time ever dropping a trans.

Would it just be better to pay someone else to do it, Im guessing itd be arond 500 in labor alone.

Re: How hard to replace clutch?

i did the trans in my LS1 all by myself...with a regular floor jack and hand tools, in my driveway.

it's not mechanically difficult...it's logistically difficult. have some friends help...
