Getting ready to do clutch install

I am getting reaady to do a clutch install myself and I was wondering how many guys have done this and what were some some problems youo ran into? I intend to replace the flywheel with a stock one, new tob, new stage 3 Ky clutch kit, clutch pipe, clutch pipe elbow, and all new bolts for pressure plate and flywheel. I will do this in my garage, unfortunately i don't have a lift available. I have pretty good mechanical ability but i have never performed a clutch replacement on a front wheel drive car. Any thought would be great.

Thanks in advance for your input.

not too hard of a job. just make sure u have all the sensors and clutch line and shift linkage off before u drop the tranny. i didnt run into any problems that i can remember. if u have any questions just ask. ive done over 10 cobalt clutches in every model bu an lnf but i dont see it being any different.

Thank for the input. I will just take my time. Did you use a vacumn pump or just manually bleed the clutch?

both. i vac bled it to get most of the air out (plus its faster) and then manually bled it just to make sure it was all out.
