1) Be sure to use a transmission jack, especially for reinstalling the trans
2) Get some small plugs for blocking the transmission oil lines after you disconnect them, otherwise you'll have a mess to clean up.
3) The small metal clips that hold the oil lines in the transmission are small and easy to lose.
4) The engine needs to be tilted backward in order to get the transmission back in, some have loosened the motor mounts to do that, but I was able to tilt it enough without loosening them.
5) Be sure to use an alignment tool on the clutch before torquing the pressure plate bolts.
6) You'll need long ratchet extensions.

This is a very important point, you'll have problems if the disc is not properly centered before starting to torque down the pressure plate.

Also, as you tighten the bolts of the pressure plate, be sure to do so in a "star" pattern. Once they're starting to see torque, and you have the disc centered using an alignment tool, bolt down the pressure plate in a star pattern to ensure that it's being evenly drawn up.

Thanks , It's done way easier than my Viper was to do.
The old clutch looks like new still with 13000 miles and 610 rwhp.
