It is not a hard job, just time consuming for a fwd clutch job.
I love fwd drive clutch jobs, they pay well, and I can usually blast them out pretty quick.

This Camry requires subframe removal to drop the trans too, which means removing all the engine mounts, control arms, etc.
But fortunately I looked online and some people pointed out that you don't have to drop the trans to replace the clutch - you just need to separate the engine and trans enough to be able to work in there.
Blew my mind at first, because it was so obvious but I never thought of it. I was just plugging along doing what Haynes said to do.
So we just slid the trans over towards the wheel well and it saved us a TON of work!
