So I finally got around to changing the clutch in my S10 and man was it a pain first time around. Given me and my friend had no idea where to begin with changing the clutch, we spent a total of 25 hours trying to change it, most of the time was spent getting hung up on stuck bolts, wrong information online, and wondering where the 10mm went.

So I finally managed to get a truck that Ive always wanted, which was an S10, though I was stuck with getting a second gen pre facelift as the 97 to 04 facelift models are pricy on the used market. The truck for the most part is in good shape outside of sundamaged pain on the hood and roof, and a crack in the interior dash, engine also needs a tune up and some work to the clutch but overall she ru... » Continue Reading
