John, this is pretty easy.  It should take you about 2 hours to drop the
tranny (repack cvs if they need it) and replacing the clutch itself is easy
especially if you get a clutch kit (I sell these for $120) that comes with
the pilot bearing, clutch disc, pressure plate, alignment tool, throw out
bearing, and a little grease for the pilot bearing.  Check the flywheel for
any uneveness or scoring and machine if you see anything ugly.  If not, check
your pilot bearing for wear and corrosion.  If it looks good then putting in
the new clutch disc, pressure plate, and throw out bearing is only a 30 min
affair.  2 more hours for tranny reinstall and you are ready for the test
drive.
Have fun.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
