i got the clutch kit that has the plates and all that stuf i have been worried bout my clutch for some time then i went to go to work one mornig started my truck put it in r let off and nothing altough i did hear a noise when i pushed it in to start it. i had my uncle come out and look all the linkig was hooked up no fluid leaks then i said i would jus replace the whole thing and get the kit not slave or master well he is in jail and i moved and have to get it done asap
 
Do you mean a clutch master cylinder kit,,,,a clutch slave cylinder kit,,,,or a clutch kit which contains the drive plate ,the pressure plate and the release bearing. I think that you have been listening to fairy tales from the local would be expert and there seems to be plenty of them around. May I ask how and why you decided which part is faulty
 
all you need is basic hand tools, a pilot tool, and a transmission adapter for a 2 ton floor jack. you must do this service on a solid surface, you do not ever want to drop a trans on a soft surface where the trans lift can tip over.
 
If you are sure you need to replace the clutch, throwout bearing, and the pressure plate. Here is a quick explanation of how to do it. First disconnect the battery. Raise the truck and support it securely. You will need to at least get some 3/4 inch plywood to put under the truck since you dont have a hard floor to work on. Remove the starter. Remove the exhaust pipes. You can disconnect them from the donut. You may need to heat them up with a torch to get them loose. It would be a good idea to replace the donut gaskets also. Then disconnect the hydraulic line from the slave cylinder and disconnect all wires and cables from the transmission. Take out the driveshaft. Support the transmission with a hydraulic jack, preferably with a transmission lift attachment on it. Remove the transmission support crossmember or you can take loose the bell housing bolts whichever you prefer to do 1st. Once both of those are done make sure you have a safe way to pull the transmission back far enough to clear the trany shaft. Once you have the trany out and down you can remove the old parts and replace them. While you have the trany out it would be a good idea to replace the rear crankshaft seal on the motor. You can use a flathead screwdriver to remove it, just be careful not to harm the surface behind the seal. Tools needed will be 3/8 drive ratchet and sockets. You will probably need 1/2 drive also for those stubborn bolts that need extra force. You will need an ratchet extension set 1in to 12in extensions. Complete wrench set. A prybar wouldnt hurt either. When you replace everything make sure you torque it all to recommended specs with a torque wrench. Dont forget to bleed the hydraulic lines to the clutch.
