It is a straight forward install, but stubborn balljoints, the shift linkage pin and getting the tranny back in the car while it is on jackstands makes it a pain in the ass.

Well, I did it at a horribley casual pace.. so it took like 4 days..
the first day, we got it jacked up and disconnected the battery, and then went to a party.... lol.

like Schmooster said, it's straight forward, the most time consuming parts = dealing with the stupid little shit, like ball joints, and rusted bolts and shit of that nature... unless you have an elaborate tool selection at your disposal, I would think hard about doing it yourself...

Skunk2 SS = Skunk2 (being the brand) SS (being "Short Shifter")

Yes, the HDSS is a great clutch. I would skip out on LSD for now until you either have enough money to pay for it to get installed or are a little more familiar with the removal of the transmission.
