Anyone ever replace a FWD clutch?

My brother-in-law burned up the clutch in his 92 Saturn. I've never done a fwd clutch before. Anyone do one? Any special tools needed?

I did mine in my GSX. . . kind of a pain but because of the transfer case and such, but there arent any "special" tools other that the correct centering tool

Cool, thanks. The car should be here tomorrow so I'll check it out and see what's involved. I've done tons of simular repairs but always on rear wheel drive cars. I think I'll run out and buy a manual for it too just to referece if needed.

Well we decided that the car isn't worth fixing so he is going to just buy a motorcycle and forget the car. Thanks for the input though.

Pulled the engine and tranny out of a 98 V6 Accord. That was a tight fit right there... I doubt that there would be enough room to drop the tranny independant of the engine.

For future reference: When pulling an engine or tranny out of a FWD car, it is sometimes better to leave the engine/tranny on the suspension, unbolt the engine/tranny/suspension, and lift the car off of the engine.
