Default Anyone done a clutch on a is300?

My clutch is going out,already have the new one. Jw if anyone has done one? Any pointers? I pulled up the RnR instructions and it says i need to pull the ex.manifold ? Looks like the trans will clear the exhaust. Any takes? Or dirt ball moves? Haha thanks!

I can recommend a shop that will do it for you, save you a headache. but from what I remember when i worked on a supra... I had to loosen the exhaust manifold, then again it was a twin turbo... so... it should be the same.

Yeah i was planning on doing it myself just thought someone could give me a pointer or 2 on something they encountered or gave them trouble during the repair that could save me time if i came across it. Wheres the driveshaft disconnect from? Thanks mrkim

Yeah i figured it would be easy since majority of rwd are easy to do a clutch on.
