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???

I really appreciate all your guys responses! I will probably drop the transmission this monday. I plan on using some sort of jack to support the motor and possibly running a 2x4 across the engine bay and wrapping a support strap around the motor for additional support but I don't know if that is neccessary. The chilton manual uses the support across the engine bay for support....
-It is to my understanding that both front driveshaft axles must be removed to pull out the transmission. I do not see what would qualify as the " other drive shaft" since it is front wheel drive... Could someone clarify this description for me??????? Thanks for your time..... BrandonA.
