How hard is it to replace a clutch in a 97 civic?

I got an 05 and I did mine recently.
Wasnt too bad, thanks to some great DIY's I found.
I say just research, buy whatever you think you need (can always take it back) and be prepared to have SOMEthing give you a total headache.
For example: taking my time, cleaning each part, and WAITING for parts I didnt know were broken or broke in the process took me about 5 days. Did it over christmas 'your not getting paid' break. Learned alot and if you have the tools and *****, do it.

Its not a hard job you could knock it out in 6 hours with hand tools or 3.5 to 4 with air tools.

4 hours with air tools? LOL you gotta remember hes never done it before.
Look, you can do it, but dont underestimate the time it will take since youve NEVER done it before.

true lol I have done several and I usually just support the engine and pull the trans out by hand on a 4 cylinder I find its faster that way, mind you if you do not have the upper body strength to do so then use a trans jack or a trans adapter for one for sure.
