Did my clutch on jack stands. I was 42 years old at the time and my knees were crying towards the end. It didn't help that it took me three weeks because it was my first time and I had a hell of a problem with the stupid triple square trans mounting bolt. While a lift would have helped with my knees, it would have been harder to hide the fact that I spent a lot of time under the car just crying because I thought I had gotten into something I shouldn't have.

Everything turned out well though. I'm hoping to be rich by the time it goes out again and can either afford a lift or afford someone else to do it for me. I haven't decided how rich I'm going to be in 40k miles yet.

I'll have to pick up some foam knee pads to avoid tears, I was thinking the skinned knuckles would be the main cause for waterworks and bloody red messes.
Whats up with these triple square trans mounting bolts? I suppose I'll need a special driver or are they common at Home Depot or Autozone?

I think you needed to be rich before you bought the Porsche and then try to preserve your fortune by DIY.
Doing it the other way is just a constant uphill battle, but perhaps the motivation is more desperate and compelling.:ah:
Most guys don't do much unless there's a really nice carrot dangling out front to keep you focused and going in the right direction.
