    Can get helpful info. on YOUTUBE sometimes. I always consult the old Youtube University before setting out on a project.

    Check your clutch master and slave cylinders (leaks / failure) before you waste money and time on a new clutch.

    How many miles are on your car ?

    With mechanical knowledge and tools you can do this, but not in one night.

    Its a job that I think pays 8 hours book rate. It can be done in an evening, the lift and access to air tools will make it a heck of a lot easier.

    To help diagnose some...

    When pressing down the clutch pedal near the end does it fee, "crunchy"?

    Does the pedal come back up off the floor when depressed?

    You gotta drop the subframe to replace the clutch.......good time to do some suspension maintenance.
