Help clutch change? Options

[bdog_v]

Hello I just bought a 94 toyota celica GT model 2.2 liter. The clutch is slipping and needs to be changed. I just bought a chilton manual that is very helpful but I am a little concerned. I have changed clutches before on rear wheel drive but never a front wheel drive car.

-I have searched for over an hour for a good write up on how to do this on a 6th gen. or 94 celica with no luck???



-My main question is this. When disconnecting the trans from the motor, the motor is no longer attached to the body in any way that I am aware of so,



-do people usually just pull the whole motor out with the trans.?
*Personally I don't like this idea*

-If so do they drop it out the bottom or pull it out. I don't have an engine hoist at my garage.



-Or how does one go about supporting the motor after the trans is out?

*would just some chains do the job wrapped around the motor and connected to the upper braces on each side of the engine bay?





-How is this usually done, and how difficult is this job say compared to
other cars??? I don't want to pay a ton to have it done when I can do it, unless it wouldn't cost that much...... Thanks guys, I just bought this car and am already losing my hair!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Also I was thinking of buying a centerforce stage II clutch I want a firmer pedal than stock and more holding power. *But it has to have a spring loaded puck!* I don't want an all out racing clutch....

-What is the best clutch for the money???

Im no pro here, but when my clutch went out a couple weeks ago i started to do some research... I found a few people who had done these went with dropping the engine, just because of personal preference... And due to lack of time, i opted to just pay the pros to do it, and it costed me around 250 for labor and 150 for parts. I had the basic clutch put in, and then did all the other necessary things needed.... hope this helps a lil.
