Default First clutch install..Questions..Help?

I need to replace a clutch on my '02 S2K. Have a couple of questions..

1. I can't see replacing the clutch without a lift, but is a lift mandatory?
2. Are there any experienced techs that want to make money on the side with replacing one? I live in the Manassas, Va area...any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Anything you ever wanted to know about S2000 maintenance and repairs can be found here:

Many, many members have spend hundreds of hours sharing what they know with us about these sort of things. The best of that knowledge has been put together in that thread. You will find the clutch specific stuff about 1/3 of the way down the first post.

Good luck!

well when i did mine i had to drop the motor half way to get to the bolt on the top of the tranny but it helped that i had a lift but if you dont have a lift you have to take off your intake and exhaust manifolds then its easy after that. not that hard its a good bonding experience with you and your car! Good luck!

I've replaced clutches in 4 different S2000's. A lift isn't "mandatory", but is very, very, very helpful. It takes me about 5 hours to do the job, including a lunch break. Good luck. Most shops will charge around $650-$700. If you were closer, I would be more than welcome to do it for you, but you're a few hours away.
