Way back in my single days my 74 914 2.0 was my only car, and source of transportation. Over the 20 years of daily driving, and regular autocrosses I had to replace the clutch by myself, twice!
Drive home from work on Friday afternoon, put the car up on jack stands, disconnect the many things needed to drop the engine and transmission, and go to bed. On Saturday, drop the engine and transmission, replace the clutch, pressure plate, throw our bearing and every other parts that has wear. Put it all back together, get the lump back into the car and go to bed.
On Sunday hook up all the stuff and be driving by noon. Get all cleaned up and ready for work on Monday.
The big pressure was I was on my own, and no way to run to the store for parts. I had to have everything on hand. 100% on my own, and get it right on the first try.
I have long known I am a super slow mechanic, and ever so happy I did not think of doing that for a living. 90% self taught, and reading the manuals, long before the internet.
